Gardening in Shade

can Aspidistra survive full sun?

20 years ago

I planted an Aspidistra (Hoshi Zora) in a light shade location, it was fine. Then a week ago, a tree had to be cut down. Now the location is in full sun from 930Am 'til about 1PM. One leaf is already white from the sun. Will it adjust? Can it survive or must I try to move it?

I dont think this plant would make it in full sun. Especially considering the heat too. It will get fried. I'd move it as soon as possible water well and it should recover soon.
