Hi everybody, this potted lantana from Loweās was robust and beautiful when I brought her home but she got heat-stressed out on my south-facing lanai (Tampa, FL) yesterday morning. So I brought her inside, gave her the recommended 1 1/2 cup water (soil was dry to touch) and all her curled, drooping leaves went pretty much back to normal. Then, being too scared to put her back outside, today I put her under the purple grow-light for about 3hrs. She didnāt like that AT ALL and we are back to drooping and curling. I googled sudden curling leaves in Lantana and it was talking about too much LIGHT! Is it normal for Lantana to be that fussy? I mean, the state of FL has declared Lantana a noxious invasive WEED, so whatās her problem? Anybody have any ideas?

I'm a beginner with this plant. Could someone guide me on what to do and what to avoid, especially regarding watering and sunlight? I've kept it near a window. #RedSage

Why is my lantana droopy? The leaves arenāt droopy, it gets full sun, & itās been blooming but the stalks/stems have been leaning for a bit. Not sure if I just need to support it until it gets more matureā¦ #Lantana #TexasGregGang
