How Does Weed Flaming Work?

Weed flaming is the act of passing a flame over a weed briefly, heating the plant tissues enough to kill them. The aim is to heat the weed sap until it expands and ruptures the cell walls of the plant, destroying the plant tissue so the weed dies, not to scorch or burn the weed. Once the heat destroys the cells in any section of the weed’s stem, water and nutrients cannot reach the leaves and the weed dies.
