| Hi Jenn,
Rather strange weather this summer,cool and wet,not like the usual hot windy and dry I'm used too!
El Nino means warmer and dryer winter,and it rained all night here,go figure!!!LOL
But it was 60* all night,30* warmer than usual! |

| Isaac,
I live in Wichita,Kansas,zone 6 to 7,depending whose zonal map you follow.
Ti plants are container plants for me,as the winters are to cold for them to be planted in the ground. |

| Tropicman: That is one great looking Tropical garden you have there! Is it in a greenhouse or are you one of those gardeners who have to move lots and lots of plants inside during the cold winters?Is that a real bird in the cage with the pretty colors to go along with the colorful foliage in your garden scene ... very nice!
CordylineMad: Thanks for that great link! What beauties they show in the ICS gallery! I never knew there were so many different Cordylines! I only have three that are grown in containers, one Red Sister and two noids ... but if I had more space I would love to have a hundred, they are really beautiful plants!

| Wow, Tropicman, what a collection. I am just getting to know these beautiful plants.
One ? for you or anyone else. You grow them in sun? Have a couple in the deep shade (pergola) and they are not as pretty as the ones I see here. Should they be moved in move light?
Hope you see that they live in FL and the summer sun is brutal plus the heat.
Suggestions please.

| Lets see,mine get morning sun until about noon,under the redbud tree,they get dapple shade in the afternoon.
But now in the sunroom,I
d say dapple sun almost all day since the roof is solid,buttttt,being the sun is no longer direct overhead,and at a 39* angle,give or take a degree away,might be more sun now than in the summer.
Full sun burns the leaves here as well with my draceanas,also twice a year I've been feeding them acid fertilizer.don't know if that has any effect on them or not ,but the colors stand out more vivid to me. |

| Happy...I am much closer to the Equatort than you are and I grow as many as I can in the partial sun or full sun. The trees are quite tall and skinny, so they allow a lot of light/sun in. Only the Ti with yellow in the coloration, for me, see to want less direct sun..but not deep shade. Whites and creams also see to prefer more hours of sun... I also like the way they grow with more foliar fertilizer than in the ground... |

| Thank you so much. Moving day is coming!
This I have found true with my coleus. The deeper red they are, the more sun they can take. Light green, forget it...Shade for those puppies.

| I'm OK. Just got over an upper respiratory infection, so taking it easy. We'll have to get the plastic up on the patio in the next couple of weeks to protect the plumerias, etc.
The weather here at the moment is gorgeous. The garden is green and growing. I will have to get new pictures.
Hope everyone is well.
