So out of my 3 Habanero plants I noticed something interesting. Having ran out of room under my shade cloth, 2 were relegated to what I thought was a less than optimal location that doesn't get much direct sun. Perhaps just 3 hours or so late in the afternoon if that. What has occurred is worth noting.
-
The sun soaked plant has a a lot of pods for its size but the leaves are sparse and lean more towards the yellow spectrum. The shady ones have a thick, deep-green flat canopy and slightly fewer pods. Both plants are pretty short and the shady ones are for sure not stretching in the least.
-
So it seems its not one-size-fits all per species when it comes to sun. A few others varieties I have in the shade don't appear optimal but are doing so-so.
-
So for those with limited sun exposure, Orange Habaneros may be worth a try.
