Heat Stress
Environmental stress pattern often linked to hot canopy zones, intense light, leaf edge curl, or rapid room-condition shifts.
Symptoms
- Leaf edges curling upward
- Dry or brittle-looking upper growth
- Stress near hot or bright zones
- Wilting during heat windows
Lookalikes
- Light burn
- Underwatering
- VPD-related stress
- Nutrient margin burn
Quick triage
- Check whether the issue starts near the hottest or brightest area.
- Compare symptoms before and after peak heat periods.
- Record recent room temperature and light-height changes.
- Capture a whole-plant photo showing distance from heat or light sources.
Prevention checklist
- Avoid abrupt environmental swings.
- Improve air movement without blasting leaves directly.
- Track room conditions around the symptom window.
- Use healthy comparison images from less exposed plants.
