Some that appear healthy show early warning signs of leaf damage on closer inspection. After Faubert wrote an article in April on beech leaf disease, she was inundated with calls and emails from ...
Changing the orientation of their leaves in different directions (parallel or perpendicular) allows plants to reduce damage from intense light. Leaves also wilt in response to stress, because it changes the angle at which the sun hits the leaf. Leaf rolling also minimizes how much of the leaf area is exposed to the sun. [2]

Although fertilizer is used to help a plant grow by providing nutrients, too much will result in excess salt, nitrogen, or ammonia which have adverse effects on a plant.
