I need your advice or collective wisdom: My #chayote has recovered (it was probably heat stress after all; now it’s in a slightly shadier spot; the dry leaves are just debris left by my predatory mites), but what should I do now? I wanted to plant it in a pot. Does it need to be sheltered from the wind, or can it handle a little breeze? Full sun or more shade? Oh, and how big should the trellis be, roughly? Thanks in advance for your tips.

Das Rankgerüst muss etwas abkönnen… Ich hatte sie letztes Jahr in der Sonne. Der Fuß war etwas beschattet. Die Äste werden sehr dick und die Blätter sehr groß.

Dieses Jahr habe ich sie vertikal am Zaun, also eher waagerecht, so ca. 1,80 hoch.
