First timer here...

Just planted these guys 2.5 weeks ago on my south facing patio where they receive about 60-70% sun. These guys are doing great getting a thick, strong stem and new leaf just unravelled.

When should I start watering these guys pretty regularly?

I would also like to move them to my main patio that north faces and gets ALOT of sun... Is it time for that yet or should I keep them where they are?

Looks like it needs a drink, I would give them a inch a week. And I would put them in a bigger pot, or if you can in the ground.

Are these guys ready to be put in full 80-90 degree all day sun? I have two big huge planters that I want to put them in but that would require moving them from the somewhat shaded patio they have been on and thriving to the patio that gets a ton of sun.

over the next 2 weeks introduce them to more & more sun till finally they are in full sunlight all day or as much as possible.
Acclimating plants to outdoor conditions is a good way to start the adjustment to outdoors. Acclimating can be done by introducing the plant to a few hours outdoors the first day, then gradually increasing the time outside. After a week or two, the plants should be fully acclimated to the outdoors."


During the summer, plants are more actively growing; therefore, they are using more water and nutrients. Plan on watering your plants outdoors more frequently than you would when they are indoors. However, don't waterlog or over-fertilize the plants. Use suggested fertilizer rates on the fertilizer label.
