sunburn...HELP

[melatie]

Happy New Year everyone!!

I recently had to move my plants due to some construction thingy. Now my babies are badly burned by too much sun . Will they heal by themselves, can I help in some way??

Thanks

My experience is that sunburn affects the leaves that were sunburned but not, necessarily the whole plant. I have some seedlings that were severely sunburned and still bear the evidence with red leaves and black spots - ver ugly. But the plants have grown new leaves and are doing very well now that they get proper light. I suppose you may have overdone it, but I would just get them to the proper light and see what happens. Keep watering as normal unless you've killed off the roots also.

Leaves that are sunburned will not repair them selves. Most leave will eventually fall off on there own as new leave appear unless too many of the leaves got burned. It is hard to display a plant that has been sunburned because even when in flower you still see the burned leaves. Hope that they didn't burn so bad that you lose them. Good luck growing.
