As it is, a couple of leaves didn't recover, and that was only after a few days of hot afternoon sun. The farfugium is much happier in its new place.<br /><br />Alan, this potted farfugium is 28 inches tall and 36 inches deep and wide. I tried a lawn chair but the angle of the sun was too high. Permanent relocation was the only solution. Luckily, this was a potted plant and moving it was easy.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-50198339708091863382011-08-19T04:56:39.033-07:002011-08-19T04:56:39.033-07:00If you didn't have the time to move the plant ...If you didn't have the time to move the plant right away, a potted bamboo could have provided some shade for a few days. A lawn chair might have worked too if you were short on bamboos, but it's hard for me to tell how large that plant is.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-51878077767172152032011-08-19T04:32:26.169-07:002011-08-19T04:32:26.169-07:00How true is that!

Only a few years, after spending most of the day somewhere else we came back and remarked how unusually bright our garden is, to quickly realise our next door neighbour cut down all of his trees. Suddenly we had more sun and a few plants suffered. Our own plants have grown since providing shade that was lost then.<br /><br />These Farfugiums are much tougher than given credit for, glad to see it looking fine after the exposure and move :)Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.com
