the ones that look better are only in direct sun for a few hours, maybe 4 but they are having issues too. the cut off piece you see was from that side of the house
The other side of the house has direct sun all day..
ok, sounds like this will be trial and error.
#1, should i give them any kind of nutrients?
#2 from what i have read for yuma, ice plants in the summer should be watered every 2 maybe 3 days, does that sound right for 110+. I have been winging it. depending on temp. but we have been up around 115-119 some days and i have watered every other day. some days daily to at least keep the soil frm packing from the heat. i do water slowly in circle to let it soak or it all runs off.
#3 this is the tough one. the side of the house that gets the most sun. any thoughts on how to shade them. is there a commercial cloth that will let them breathe?
#4. I dont think its an issue, but can gravel (light in color) cause heating issues. i have one plant that loves the concrete. it keeps going back to it. go figure
i think i will be having a lot of cutting growing in the back room. i am going to start clipping them right away if i am going to lose them so i have the cuttings. should help the plant as well
happy 4th everyone
