Bentato Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Id shade just the pot so the rootball doesn't heat up, the plant itself can take full sun and thrive very well. If your plant struggles in the heat its usually because the rootball gets hot not the actual plant itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
