The sun shines from the North here. Should I position the plant with the fan
facing North (rz facing south) or the fan facing East (rising sun) or west
(setting sun)? I can see your reasoning, but I'm not quite sure of the
positioning you describe.
It gets blisteringly hot here in summer, and I've lost a few to scorch. I do
find that the plants established on pots seem to fare better.
