Temperature questions

10 years ago

My Divine is being delivered sometime today! My question is, the next couple nights, lows are to be in the mid 50s and then into the sixties after that. Will it be okay outside for those first two nights? Also should I keep it in a shaded area to prevent shock after its unpacked? And gradually move it to full sun?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Yes that should be fine for night time temps. All of Jungle Jacks plants were kept inside the green house so yes you will need to ease into it and not expose it to too much sun too quickly. Mine were severely sun burnt last year.

You will love Divine! The first to bloom and also the last to finish blooming. She runs on all cylinders meaning blooming from all tips. Right now I got 4 inflos out of the 6 tips. She's leading the pack with CA Sunset right behind her. :)

Thanks, No-Clue, for putting my mind at ease! I'm on my way home now, I might post some pics of my new plant tonight if I have enough day light left!
