| Well, with them outside, I'm not sure yet what we can hang out on our balcony, with the apartment rules and all. I definitely thought of getting shade cloth or something of the like, and hanging it from the gutter to shade them. I could easily shade them inside, by letting the light filter through the blinds, and working with the shade provided by the room. But... I don't really want to keep them inside during the summer, as we have the air on in the room they would be in, since we also have our computers in there. We don't have a lot of room here...it's tough finding space in this small apartment after living in such a large house.
For now, I've got them on the lower level of one of my plant stands, in a corner of the balcony. The top is slatted, which seems to be providing them with enough shade for now. |
