# Has anyone else been having a bad summer, plant-wise? I’ve had ten…

_Posted by alexwren on 2026-07-23_

Has anyone else been having a bad summer, plant-wise? I’ve had ten plants just give up the ghost for no discernible reason in the past month or so, and for seemingly different reasons. The rooms that my plants are in are mostly not air conditioned — could it be the heat? Humidity? Changes in weather? Bad vibes? A wizard’s curse?

Definitely a wizards curse. Sorry about your bad luck

A lot of the time it's a lighting issue especially with the changing season. Make sure your providing enough light to your plants

### Kelly commented on 2026-07-23

Depending on the plant water requirements change in summer due to it being the growing season depending on the plant. I lost a lot over the winter so I understand. It’s trial and error and always changing.

### plantgeek commented on 2026-07-23

depending on where you are, probably the heat. most of these plants will tolerate hight light and humidity but some simply cannot handle summer heat if you live close to the equator.

I live in New England, so not super close to the equator! I think it might just be a combination of crazy weather changes and wizard’s curse.

LOL must be. my next guess would be watering schedule 🤷‍♂️

I have been having a bit of a root damage curse, but surprisingly I only lost two plants over my vacation
