Tarp would hold the heat in imo, tarps make a shadow not shade. Are they in the ground or in a pot?

pots
it has mesh screen for walls so i do think it would be cooler i will keep that in mind and be checking the temps

Transplant to bigger pots or put the small black pots down in something to shield them from the sun and keep them cool.

Outdoor plants need big giant pots, a big outdoor plant can drink 20 or 30 gallons of water at a time in a big enough pot...

yea going to move up to 10 gallon pots in a day or two i was wanting to get this under control before stressing them more

 

[DrMcSkunkins]

I think its the pots stressing them, a transplant has never stressed any of my plants.

I'm wondering what the difference is between being in a shadow and being in the shade?isn't all shade just a shadow of something?

Something that casts a shadow isnt big enough to block or absorb the heat. A large building casts a shadow and catches the heat, a tree casts a shadow but its still just as hot in that spot.
