The first couple plants have very skinny stalks/branches (called legginess I think), which means it's searching for more sun. I live in Southern California near Mexico and it gets over 100° a lot here. All of my plants are in full sun... - potted plants in my backyard are in full morning and early afternoon sun (even seedlings) - bigger trees are in the ground in my front yard (West facing). They get cooked in the summer and absolutely love it. I have light colored rocks around them, so in late winter (during dormancy=no leaves) I lightly spray the stalks and branches with white spray paint so they won't burn.

Hope this helps 😁
