Those are fantastic specimens! TY for sharing them. The small plant is kind of blue-ish, love that!
I don't know if plants even appreciate going from one extreme to another, might prefer a more stable environment. I didn't start this discussion to advocate people burn their plants and watch them recover, or even try to acclimate, unless their own inner voice requests it. Just enjoying some stuff happening on my plants, (some of it in the shade - which is so much brighter than the spots they have to endure in the house for winter.) Sadly though, 'tis the only way for someone in the wrong climate to be able to see what some of these plants can do, if only in a yo-yo way. "Summer colors" might have been a better phrase. Hindsight is 20/20! :+)
This plant is like watching a sunset, so glad I got it! I don't think there's any danger of this Ficus damaging anything outside here, but TYVM for the warning, and many who might read this do live where it would be hardy.
Looks like something thinks the sun-kissed parts of this plant are more tasty. Why do the munchers always choose plants that are small, and not as abundant?
Light issues aside, this pot (all of my hanging pots) is just happy to get some decent water. I was so lazy about watering them this winter.
This gets some sideways sun under the trees very early AM and for a few minutes around sunset, but wow, the color of the new leaves!
