That depends. I think full sun plants that have burnt leaves in full sun is because the heat of the sun is too intense coupled with low humidity. Some plants I grow that have to be put under semi-shade here, because they can't take full sun with very little humidity. The leaves will brown and wilt and then crispy leaves result. But else where like in Florida, they would do fine in full sun.

Another reason is because of too much fertilizer in the soil. And another reason is maybe it isn't getting enough water.

Your English is fine.
