I planted my Orinoco in a partial shade area. The past 2 months the leaves have been scorched. It only gets about 5 hours of sunlight and I dont want to move it this late in the year or in shadier location because it may stop growing or grow slower. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?

Well those brown parts ain't no good, pal. No photosynthesis there. I don't know about the rest of the leaf though. Wait and see, or somebody else will give you some advice about that.

Ok I'll wait. Maybe next year I need to put it in a shadier location because summers here can be brutal. But I'm afraid it may not grow in a shadier location. Thanks Jack
