Might be a sign of transplant shock or of too much fertilizer

Thank you

I’d say trim it back hard and see what happens

### 9s reageerde op 2024-05-13

Mites imo. Have you checked under the leaves?

Looks like sun stress, sun burn, from being exposed too quickly to warmer temperatures and/or full sun too soon. Young plants need to gradually increase temperatures and exposure to full sun.

This makes sense, moved them outdoor and it was very sunny hot week. Good to know

My queen of the night cactus turned bright yellow from record heatwaves of 107°F all summer. It’s only partially exposed to direct sun. It returned to green over the winter. The basil leaves might die off.
