Hi Mantorp!

You're not alone in having a sunburned plant. This spring I put some catts in a spot that last year was a perfect summer spot. I watered them very thoroughly that morning then placed them in their summer vacation home. Since they'd just been watered and they lived there last year...no reason for me to check them later that day OR even the next day.

Unfortunately, I forgot that my neighbor's apple tree had been removed last November...it was THE tree that shaded half that area for a better part of the afternoon. YIKES!

Results = 4 severely burned catts. I couldn't salvage 2 because they were just completely cooked! But...the other 2 (a little less full sun) are doing OK. I cut off a couple of the leaves that were too far gone...left the rest. They aren't pretty and the sheaths cooked up so no blooms this year (prob best so they can use their energy to get better) but these 2 are actually starting to put out new roots. AND...even though I can't believe it...one looks to be starting a new growth.

There is definitely hope for your den.
