You can do whatever you want, your plant either likes it or it doesn’t. For that particular plant, it should be happy in the bright, indirect sunlight on a covered or enclosed porch… just make sure that the place you’re putting it isn’t getting direct sun during part of the day (and if it is getting a little bit of direct sun for like an hour in the morning or something, watch it closely to see how it’s handling it… morning sun is gentler than afternoon sun)
Thanks so much for the info

Hey Chris. My Dracaena Lemon lime loves it on the covered porch. I see you live just a little further south in Georgia so our weather is very much the same.
@WormWarriorFarm Yeah I’m in Warner Robins but I really really wish it would quit raining lol

I hear ya Chris...it's rained a lot here in Lafayette as well. The garden loves it... problem is, the grass does too! 🀣
Hey Chris- I’m sure it will love the shaded porch. I have a Song of I dia Dracaena and it lives in my east facing back patio, under cover. It gets early morning sun, then bright indirect the rest of the day. Only thing I have to be careful of is watering as it’s been 100 degrees here and mine are in terracotta pots, so I’m watering more than usual. Your Janet Craig is beautiful! πŸͺ΄πŸ’•
I take mine out in the summer where they stay out of direct sunlight.
