Wilting moon flowers

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

I have three thriving moon flower seedlings. The only issue is I'm told (via numerous online articles) that they like full sun, but Everytime I put them in the sun the wilt with in 15 mins. I take them back inside and they perk up in about an hour. I thought they were supposed to love sun and the place I have in mind to plant them is an 80% full sun area of our fence. I'm wondering if they like sun, but the Georgia heat is too much for them. Or do they only like direct sunlight when they are larger? This is the first time I've ever tried to grow anything and I'm really trying not to kill them! HELP!!
Edit: I have now transplanted them into bigger pots than where they shared one (in comments) now they have all grown their third and fourth leaves. They are still wilting in the sun so I am doing what was suggested and acclimating them. The past few days I have put them in shady sun and they made it!!
