Cool air! lol but seriously all my plants have been really struggling exactly like this during the heat. I’ve always heard that it’s best to give them thorough waterings at night or in the morning before they are sitting in extreme temps.

@LeanGreen thank you! I just watered them and going to see what happens. They were perfectly fine when I went to work at 2pm and got home at 8 to this lol.

My coleus, geraniums, Persian shield, and several others look like this every day at 8pm as well! If anything just keep them moist so they don’t dry all the way out. I water every day, but I water thoroughly one day and lightly the next, then it starts over

What is the average temp in your day? Is yours outdoors?

Yes, mine are in containers outside with temps averaging about 90° every day for the past three or four weeks…with only one little rain shower. I’ve been having to really focus on their watering needs this summer!
