Guys,

While my plant is in the shade, I still ended up with those ugly brown patches when the humidity levels dropped dramatically. My plant looked great all summer, but I don't think it got enough water when we dried out. I'll be more careful and observent next year.

I do realize that more sun = a stronger plant, but I've seen some really ugly ae-ae's grown that way here. I guess my question is how to find the middle ground? If I had to grow it in full sun and look at those ugly brown patches all summer I don't think I'd bother with it. What would be the point? That certainly isn't attractive.
