If you've mulched under the plant (but not up against center stem), try suspending shade cloth over the top, but not in direct contact with leaves.

  Oh dear, I just hope the changes were for the better. Such a beautiful place, I would be so sad if poorly behaved tourists spoil things for the rest of us the love and respect the places we travel to. If you need more help, let us know! 🌞
