# How it started and how it’s going. Placement was tricky as she kept…

_Posted by Light Green Thumb on 2026-07-07_

How it started and how it’s going. Placement was tricky as she kept getting scorched. I thought it was the sun itself but actually the little built in saucer on the pot just wasn’t holding enough water to withstand the Texas heat. Her leaves weren’t getting moisture and drying out, leading to sunburn. I ended up nixing the little saucer and put her in a white 2 gal bucket with a 1.5 inch water bath. Left her out in the open on the South side of the house all day in intense heat. Came home to find water still in the bucket, mix wet and not just moist, and the baby trap opened up with a blush pink inside. I feel like a winner lol
