Overnight recovery is useful evidence, but does not rule out disease. Confirm the clues • Compare the plant early in the morning and during afternoon heat. • Check the root zone again; a damp surface can hide dry roots. What to do now 1. Where practical, give a stressed container temporary shelter from intense afternoon sun and drying wind. 2. Keep moisture appropriate for the plant, and inspect stems if wilting becomes persistent or one-sided. Hold off on Do not saturate already moist soil to chase afternoon wilting. What to watch for Check the next cool morning. Failure to recover, stem discoloration, or rapid decline needs further diagnosis.
