@BlingBling haha oh no! Some people just don’t get it! 🙈40% is great! I think they’ll eventually adjust to the sun even if they get some burn marks! Just keep up with watering! Good luck!
They’re all a bit different in care, but the main thing they have in common is that they’re tropical- this means airy, well draining soil, a decent amount of humidity, and lots of bright, indirect light. From there, you can delve further into each plant and see what their unique needs are that will make them thrive! Do you have any specific questions?
@MamaLinne uhhh yeah I’ve put the curcuma in bright direct light cause I don’t have any other place to put it 🥲
Ah, I just saw that you live in a Mediterranean climate! I think the only thing to watch out for is if the plant was previously indoors at a nursery, the sun might be too strong to start- you may need to acclimate them a bit at a time or they’ll sunburn. How hot is it where you are right now? They might prefer some shade. And how much humidity is in your air? I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with Macedonia’s climate!
@MamaLinne my hand got a sunburn hope my plants don’t😭 also it’s okay about not being familiar with that climate I’m not either. It rlly changes fast two days ago we had smth like an ice rain storm idk how it’s called most plants got damaged.
@BlingBling if your hand got sunburned, the plant definitely could until it adjusts. Maybe pull them inside during the hottest part of the day? Or just keep a close eye and see if they start getting sunburned spots. Those temperatures don’t look too bad, but ice storms sound like where I live in Colorado! Lol! I don’t keep plants outside because it’s roasting hot one day, snow the next. Too difficult to move everyone in and out.
@BlingBling my tropicals do just fine in about 30-40% humidity. I have to run humidifiers constant in my house because it’s so dry here. If it gets any higher that that, I start getting mildew on them.
@MamaLinne sooo 41% humidity is fine? I can’t move them in I literally have no space + my mum is beefing with my plants for some unknown reason. I’ll just see how it goes ig 😭🙏🏻
@MamaLinne thank you so much for responding!!! Take care! 💜🌷
