How tall and wide do these grow? Also, what exposure is needed; sun, shade, part-shade?

Hello, unfortunately mine did not get to be more than a foot tall. I was shipped well, and was very healthy. I brought mine indoors and is alive. This season I will place it against a reflective surface to get more rays. The botanical name is Ruttya fruticosa Lindau. And I do recommend it if you the room. It is listed for a 6x6' growth pattern. Full sun to light shade. I purchased it from Emerald Goddess Gardens. I will buy from them again. P.s. if we had an actual Summer last year I am sure it would 3 feet tall.

I've had my plant about 9 months and it is about 2 feet tall and getting bushy. I live in a cold climate so it is in the south window and the temp at night is about 50 and in the day can get into the 75-80 range. My friend in Arizona has his potted on his patio and reports that his is a bit taller and bushier than mine.

Hi...I live in 7B so I have to bring it in in the winter to avoid the cold. (it has actually done better inside than outside, producing almost constant blooms.) it seems to do best in Bright sun. As it is in a large pot, mine has reached about 4 ft high by 3 feet wide. A word of caution...the flowers tend to stick to things as they drop.

the best I can tell you is that they are a full panel so they must be about 4ft accross by 5ft up and down. this is a guess but it should be somewhat close. I absolutly LOVE this canopy. It looks so nice set up.

Daylight, and the heat is cool enough that, your plants can get as close as 6in. without burning the leaves. Hope this helps.

I do not know. I placed them indoor on a window sill facing north and so far they are doing well. I will think they can tolerate shade outside.

I am not sure. This, also, is my first year growing them. Not all of mine even came up, although I followed instructions carefully. Mine are only about 3' tall at this time. They are in the ground in very well prepared, fertile soil. I agree that you have to wait until after the first frost to harvest them, and that they may get 10' tall by then. I suggest that you contact Mother Earth News, which has lots of great information on ALL growing things! Otherwise, you may contact your nearest Agriculture County Extension Office for advice. I wish you the very best gardening! lbj

I built a pvc frame and keep it about 18" above a table when starting seedlings, the area of full intensity lighting is about 34" x 54". We have not used it on tomatoes past about 5-6" height. At that size they seemed lush and healthy.

Leh's response is right on in that there's no simple answer. In my use of the light, I'm illuminating an area that is approximately 100 x 100 (close to 1/4 acre) with the lamp mounted approximately 16' off the ground. In that area, any object or person is very well illuminated. If the bulb were higher, the are would grow a bit, lower and it would shrink - there is some sensitivity to mounting elevation.Overall, I'm very pleased with the coverage and especially with the cool white vs the more warm color of the sodium lamps.

Yes. The plant we received was about 6 inches tall, very healthy and it did arrive in a pot as you see it pictured. As far as the eastern exposure is concerned I would think that would suffice for the plants needs. We have ours in a shaded area facing South and it seems be doing very well. Good luck!

I Got them a few months back and love them.......I would say they are about 4" tall, some are longer than the others to create the vine look. And you also have a few little leaves to fill in with. I have them going around the top of my Jacuzzi tub and look fabulous! Def a good buy. Hope this helped.

I would say about a foot or so for plants to be bushy or while in bloom growth. Then like about 16"-24"for plants to get a little taller and lanky or to stretch out a little bit. I have two of these in a 20" by 36" and 60" tall tent in my closet. Leds run cool but also depends on the plant type some don't get leaf burn as others.

It should do fine. However, as you'll only get a little sun during the summer months, it would be a good idea to get some augment light, such as a small LED grow light. I keep mine indoors all the time -- it's not going to get too big -- and I have augmented light. Just don't let the temperatures get below 60 degrees as it is tropical.

I am Zone 5a, in western new york, and I planned mine after last spring frost, for me it was May 15th. So Spring planting definitely. By Labor Day they were over 6 feet tall.

I have had them for two years in shade and they have held up great. They are almost like rock, so I don't think Sun will affect them much.

They should grow great there. Like others have said, you will need full sun (at least 6 hours per day,) for bloom.

We are Texas Gulf Coast area. They will will get quite tall--we do not put them in pots. I do not know about your area

I guess it depends on how far away from the bulb your target is. I use them in outdoor lights which shine upward from the ground onto tall cactus. At the highest point where the light shines on the cactus the effective light spread is probably 6 feet wide.

I bought these seeds and put mine in full sun all summer and they did great. Don't put them in a shaded spot, as they need plenty of sun for photosynthesis. You can pick a spot that is shaded part of the day, but you want them in sun all day or most of the day. They won't grow very well if they don't get enough sunlight. You want to make sure you don't over water, or the roots will start to rot. Strawberries are very susceptible to this. Other than that, just follow the directions on the back of the seed packet.
