This heat I think is just burning up some of my plants. Some Hostas seem to be drying and shrivelling up too. Pouring water on them every day doesn't seem to help. Like some nice big Elephant Ears of mine also, about the outer 2 inches of their big leaves just dries up and turns crunchy.

My concrete succulent dish, (and one former lizard terrarium cactus) seem to be doing just fine, but I think those plants like the heat!
