Summer Stress

water stress: not enough moisture is available in thesoil for the plants to take up

- more water is needed

heat stress: there is adequate water available to the plant, but transpiration exceeds the root system’s ability to take up moisture, so the foliage wilts in the hot dry air

- adding more water may cause the roots to rot

- provide mulch and shade
