Hi Dewi,
I had the same with some of the plants I placed outside before may, from the
weather forecast I noticed that they had given a few day's with extreme UV
intensity end of April.
The rest of the plants who went outside mid may and had even more direct sun
had no problems.
So I guess it is the UV concentration in the sun which kill's the plants not
the light...
But my 'burned' plants are not dead but has got quit a lot of damage and
also they grow is been effected by this as they can't do the photo job any
more.
What I'll do I remove the burned leaves (with care) leaving only the top
leaves leave it for a day, than give extreme water place three to four short
bamboo sticks in the pot and cover with a clear plastic back over the whole
plant and put it in a warm place for a few day's.
At some of the places where I removed the leaves new ones popped up now.
Might be to late for now but you never know.
Hot regards
Rob

No, just the leaves turned white.

No fertilizer yet

It did but while they shrivveled up the rest died too.

Could that be in the potting soil I'm using? Other plants
from the same
batch don't seem to be affected by it.
