I bought my first brug about 2 weeks ago. Been trying to read up on it and how to best care for it in this hot florida heat. They say morining sun afternoon shade. But I think here in florida it would be too much. So for the last two weeks I've just kept it in a pot in part sun part shade. It seems I cant ever give it enough water and it seems when ever I move it , it doesnt like it.
Well finally I've planted it on the north side of the house. OHH did I mention my yard has no trees its all sun and im facing east. So the sun bakes the yard all day. I have one little spot on the North side I thought might be good because it recieves some sun but not all day. And still half way through the day the leaves start to wilt. I have to go out and give it some water.
Is it the heat or is it the amount of sun its receiving or not receiving ?

I have 5 more on the way so I need to figure this thing out. I've ordered cool blush versicolor apricot and a few more. Is there a diff in how you treat these or do you care for brugs all the same?

Will these plants survive here? Or am I waisting my time? Help
