Too Much Sun!!
Default Too Much Sun!!

My plants received to much sun over the weekend. I would really like these to live and just wanted to know what I need to do (other than reduce sunlight) to help them stay alive.

If the plants were overexposed, it is likely the cells overheated and died. In fairly short order, the affected tissues will turn light brown with a parchment-like texture.

There is nothing you can do about it (other than learn from your mistake), and in fact, you should take no action. The damaged areas will be dry and "cauterized", so will not be vulnerable to infection. They'll be ugly, but that's all.
