How much you can torture a plant - Blc. My Orange 'NN'
I burned this plant to a crisp when I moved it from Boston to LA. I was actually being careful, but even though this plant was in full sun through the Boston summers, it couldn't handle even a couple of hours of August LA sun. So it sat after that first day in pretty much full shade on my patio from there on out. Maybe it got really early morning sun before I got up, but that's it. Despite still looking like death warmed over, this plant is growing a new lead, and two of its previous leads are now in sheath! I'm impressed. Tough plant. That pleases me, as I really loved this plant in bloom and I'll be happy if I can return it to its former glory.
