Hey all,

Everywhere I read it says to put them into direct sunlight. The few that I have purchased appear to have been inside for a while so I'm worried that putting them into direct sun could hurt them.

I live in an area of CA where temps can reach up to 110. It's currently 101 and I have them outside in indirect sunlight. What is the safest way I can care for them at the moment as far as sunlight?

Put them in a shady area with a little sun, then indirect, then direct. Shade them when it gets over 100 and water them well
