Tired of battling unwanted plants? These surprising reasons for weediness point the way to cures
Full StorySo I splurged and bought croton, schefflera, dracaena for the outdoor deck. Instant tropical look. I assume I should be cautious and give them mostly shade at first and then work my way up to part sun? (similar to how it's done with plant grown indoors and getting them used to outdoor sun?)
The plants were new stock at home depot and definitely look healthy, vibrant and compact, so perhaps they just came from the nursery down south and can I assume that they were already getting some sunlight so should be used to it?
Still, I don't want to burn the leaves. As it is, their final placement spots may end up being more part sun than full sun.
