Hi everybody, this potted lantana from Loweās was robust and beautiful when I brought her home but she got heat-stressed out on my south-facing lanai (Tampa, FL) yesterday morning. So I brought her inside, gave her the recommended 1 1/2 cup water (soil was dry to touch) and all her curled, drooping leaves went pretty much back to normal. Then, being too scared to put her back outside, today I put her under the purple grow-light for about 3hrs. She didnāt like that AT ALL and we are back to drooping and curling. I googled sudden curling leaves in Lantana and it was talking about too much LIGHT! Is it normal for Lantana to be that fussy? I mean, the state of FL has declared Lantana a noxious invasive WEED, so whatās her problem? Anybody have any ideas?

What other plant parents say
This is a plant that grows & grows outsideā¦in fact, itās my favorite plant that Iāve gotten for outdoorsā¦only difference Iāll make for next year is to put it in the back of the gardenā¦.itās grown so much that the other flowers in the garden are hard to see.
