to put in the sun or not..

10 years ago

I seem to have good luck this time :) - four or five of my plants from Warunee are developing buds even before they have leaves, and as they are still in the shade I'm wondering if I should just leave them the bloom there or move them out into the sun... any ideas?

Here's an example... (the one in front was actually one of the bonus ones...)

Ted, if they are my plants, I keep them in the shaded area until they are fully leaves.

If you take them out in the sun now, the buds will burn and drop. They need strong roots first.

Mine are all in shade, either from the side of the house, under the eave or others, covered with a shade house. All are currently in bloom.
