Yes, where it was before was full shade and really low light in the summer when the sun was directly overhead. In the winter it did better as the slant got more sunlight into that terrace. But, I thought it would get more light in the ground, no direct sun but perhaps not even enough light. A macho fern and some spiral ginger are doing ok in that location so you'd think it would be all right. It might be the soil or the insects. I've about decided that everything back there has to stay in a pot.
