So a heatwave rolled up on me and my plants aren't doing that great I looked it up and the two main things that said to do were put it in shade and add mulch. As you can see from the picture I added Mulch and there's no real shady place I could put them around my house so I may have to get a cloth or something but other than those is there anything else I could do to help?

I put up a portable awning over mine.
Yeah, gotta make some shade. Also might wanna move them away from the house. The wall holds and reflects heat.
get some 40% or 50% shade cloth to drop temp 5-10 degrees
Shade cloth and a fan worked well, for me,
If you have no where that gets more shade, then you’ll have to use shade cloth. Home Depot has some pretty cheap ones under $11 and free shipping.

I have no idea which is right for you.
Put them in the shade
