I have very little experience with potted plants Recently I re-potted a few plants with course sand from HD but not sure about watering. I also placed the plants out in the patch under the canopy where they get partial sunlight but am worried the black plastic pots might get too hot.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Donald,
*****I used pool filter silica coarse sand with perlite mix as medium for Nanas in pots*****
If the Nana plant that have been re-potted or transplanted has roots, then I water them every 2-3 days!.....
If the Nana plant or corm doesn't have any roots. I water them every 6 to 7 days until they grow roots (rooting)!....
Most of the time, I placed any corm or a Nana plant without any roots at my house balcony, out of the rain water, until they grow roots, then, as you, I move them under the bigger Nanas (canopy) where they get partial sunlight....To get them hardy enough, acclimatize, at least for 2 weeks, before transplanting them to the ground!.....
Tease out my secret!.......shhhhhhhh!......LOL!.....
Hopefully it helps!......
