Hi everyone
Firstly - happy new year and wishing you all the best for 2025.
My friend is currently house sitting for me and has sent me these videos of my two Japanese maples. One is a bloodgood and I’m unsure of the other cultivar. They both seem to be suffering from extreme heat stress and I was wondering about what my next steps are and their possibility of survival?
The majority of the leaves have dried up on one but some have survived, notably ones facing direct light. On the bloodgood, the majority of the leaves have started turning dark green with the edges curling up into a pinkish brown colour.
I think realistically the watering has to be increased, but aside from that I am just worried about losing them both.
Context - I live in Melbourne, Australia. Both have been sheltered from direct sun largely, but my balcony faces south so there is strong afternoon light.
Apologies in advance for the poor pictures - they’re the best my friend could send.
Thanks in advance for your help.
