I have seen this type of coloration in the Siam Ruby with a half and half or so and I think it is so striking. But my Rubies or their sister Margaritas don't burn at all like my Ae's do. I do have a Zebrina that burns badly also, yet I have three others that don't. (I have to toughen them all up to live here with me)  They just look crappy until the aclimated leaves come out. |
Jananas i can relate that first simmer was hell for the poor baby's but they did adapt i don't get that much crispness unless i don't water often enough
However the Ae Ae always has some brown on it they are just vary susceptible what can you do? nothin and yes my SR a MM are good in sun they aways grow like troopers but as iv noted in a few other threads i think SR likes high heat mine don't even grow well until the temps go over 90 at 100 they put a leaf out ever 3 days they are truly heat sucking sun worshipers
PS my avatar is a Siam Ruby its 105deg Fahrenheit and look at it i think a picture is worth a 1000 words!
