Direct sunlight ok?

  • Thread starter dewy

I am getting some neps soon. I was wondering if this summer I could put them outside where they would get direct sun all day?
 
What Neps are you gettin? Where do you live?

I would say its fine if you avoid strong midday sun
 
They do best with bright, diffused light. I had my N. coccinea and N. miranda hanging outside under a tree last year, and they did great. They got almost no direct sun.
 
I'd say it is wise to put them under some sort of shade, like a tree. This will help to avoid the beating they recieve from the midday sun. Otherwise, go ahead. It really depends on the type, and where you live though. We need that info to give you a definite answer.
 
N. hirsuta x veitchii is a hybrid cutting Capslock is sending me. I line in eastern North Carolina.
