They are both in pots on either side of my entrance next to the stucco walls of my house. They seem to do well except in the hot summer time, then they droop and the leaves get burned and turn brown. They get full sun in the summer. I was thinking of moving them but did not know if they do better in pots or planted in the soil. |
