How can you tell if a plant is getting too much sunlight?

The signs of a plant receiving too much sunlight can often manifest as scorch marks or sunburnt spots on the leaves. When a plant experiences excessive sunlight exposure, especially in combination with high temperatures, the tissues in the leaves can become damaged due to desiccation and overheating. This typically leads to a visible browning or scorching along the edges or in the centers of the leaves.

Other options may relate to plant stress but do not directly indicate excessive sunlight. Yellowing leaves can suggest various issues, including nutrient deficiencies or overwatering. Elongated and weak stems usually indicate insufficient light rather than too much, as plants tend to stretch towards a light source in such scenarios. Lastly, flowers blooming but wilting quickly could be due to a variety of factors, including improper watering or nutrient levels, rather than solely from excess sun exposure. Understanding these specific signs helps in diagnosing and adjusting plant care conditions appropriately.
