So my Colombian Gold is looking like it’s suffering some heat stress. She’s in a 20 g planter growing in organic soil.

Some of the new growth leaves are curling upwards. We finally got summer a couple weeks ago and the days have been very hot.

Anyone have this issue before?

Yeah looking pretty damn hot over there, that looks kind of excessive imo. What are your temps? Are you in plastic or fabric?

It’s getting up in the mid 30’s Celsius. The planters are plastic. Checking with my moisture meter and have been watering them daily.

You could up-pot to fabric pots, if the heat is around for a while longer you might want to bump up the size significantly.

I think that’s more than heat. Have you checked thoroughly for bugs?

Indeed heat stress, spray the foliage with seaweed kelp extract.
