Do these get hot enough in the sun to avoid some plants?

We have two beds located in an area with close to 100% sunlight throughout the day, and didn't have any issues with this. Grew a pretty wide range of plants this year and they all turned out fine.

I just keep things watered as needed. I haven't had any problems with anything I planted.

Never had a problem keeping them lit. It does depend on the breeze. They do usually burn about two hours (sometimes longer). I love them--they keep the gnats and mosquitoes away!

Shade, especially in warmer climates. Morning sun exposure ok, but avoid hot afternoon sun. Very filtered light ok. If too little light, plants will tell you by phototropism-orienting growth towards light.

I'm not a horticultural expert but I don't believe that will be the issue. Keeping then on will, a light breeze will blow them off if not secured well. I have found that if you leave them outside in the sun the UV rays in summer will destroy the fabric. I will near Sacramento and we get high heat.

Mine are on my patio and do not receive direct sunlight, but they must get enough diffused light because they work great and I have had them almost a year. My only complain is the colors fade after a while, but that doesnt matter as much when the lights are on, and for the price they are great!

I live in Alabama & it get's HOT.. For me, I store mine outside in a Shed and on my Porch..So they go through heat & cold but--- I absolutely would not expose to the direct sunlight..The sun would expand the fuel inside causing Pressure Buildup ... Kind of like a pressure cooker..

I would keep them out of extreme heat. I think they would be fine outdoors if not left in direct sunlight for an extended time.

if the area is covered they would work fine. direct sun on them might make them a little warm to sit on.

What temperature are we talking about? I would not leave them out in direct sunlight at 100F.

It will get hot no doubt because it's a dark brown/black.. I would stay away from a dark color cushion because they could fade and be hot... I live in New England so I can't say for certain but we left ours out in the sun and never had an issue...

I grow the. In pa. Planted them in late May ,cool nights kept them from growing ,now they are moving .I think if you have a spot that gets some shade during the late afternoon they will take the heat

Not at all, I use them in all of my terrariums. They don't get very hot and you can also purchase a thermostat to finely tune heat dispense throughout your new friends habitat.

Yes they do produce heat. You decide based upon how much light you want/need.

They are supposed to be kept cool. It is my understanding that if they get too hot they will die and you've spent the money for nothing. I try to use them as soon as I get them-if I can. I've used these in my yard for several years and also other nematodes to kill Japanese beatles. I think they work pretty well. It is best to spray them around after it rains. Hope this helps.

No need to keep in the shade. I have plants in full sun and water as usual.

Yes, they do get hot in the sun. I got cushions for these chairs as well as for the loungers, standard sizes fit just fine.

They should not be out in the heat for too long. As long as you don't leave them sitting on a porch in direct sun I think they should be fine.
