Thanks for all the advice. They haven't gotten any worse since I moved them, so I guess that is a good sign. I put a couple in the green house when I first potted them and they are by far the healthiest looking 2 out of the 50 that I have. I also had put 4 of them in the woods where only about an hour of morning, and an hour of afternoon sun hit them directly and they look pretty good. They are much greener, rather than red like the ones that were getting the 5 hrs of sun, but are definately healthier looking. How much time would you allow them to get of full sun, if any at all, with the temps reaching the 90's every day for a couple of months?

I moved half of them underneath my deck, which gives them almost no direct sun(maybe 30 min at most). Is this a good or bad idea?




This is a photo before I moved them a few days ago
