Hard to tell but it doesn't look like that position is getting adequate light. If veranda in background is out of bounds and there are no alternative it may be necessary to remove shadecloth/use a horticultural covering that doesn't reduce light as much. I'm about to move from a rental into our own home and I'm looking forward to setting up a new area for my plants.

The plants are growing really well in my bonsai house. It's hard to keep them under control. My house is behind me in the photo and the sun comes up over the house and sets behind it where you can see it in the photo. So it gets a lot of very early morning sun and some filtered sun by the tree and shade cloth. I would like to get a proper on like build my own from wood but that is just a dream for the new house.
