at what temperature should i move black pots to shade

alright, so i have identified an issue with my growing, i'm situated in perth, in western australia where there is intense sun and can get pretty hot, now today i realised why my plants were troubled, and it was because they were practically cooking since i had them in direct sun the entire day with shade temps exceeding 90F and not to mention their black pots so they would get quite hot.

now i've devised a certain timetable that i give them direct sun from 7am to 11am and then from 3pm to 6, so from 11-3 i want to move them to shade.

i'm just wondering if anyone has any idea to what temperature should i be moving them to shade so my plants dont cook

the sun won't hurt them as long as you keep them watered. mine sit in the 110 degree sun all summer long with no problems.

hmm, well on that note, how often do you water, my potting mix has a third perlite which gives it pretty instant drainage and the top inch or so of soil dries out within about an hour with high temps and low humidity

you could put a white tarp over your soil and pott to avoid it getting dry so fast and also the temp

i often water once a day. sometimes twice because my pots were so small.
