My 75 year old desert rose is so unhappy in her enclosure

Fort Lauderdale, FL

I live west of Fort Lauderdale and had a room built on to my house for a 75 year old desert rose to save her from iguanas. I didn't realize the screen builder people put cloth that is only allowing 50%ish sun in and she is very unhappy. I need to switch out the cloth to something that allows more sun. Can anyone suggest what I can put in the same building that lets in more sun? The screen people have nothing we can use. It's around 10' x 8' and it has a flat top on it. Glass is not really an option due to the hurricanes. Thanks so much.

Such an incredible plant! And good for you to to such lengths to keep it happy.

Have you looked at shade cloths at all? I know some Home Depots stock some.

You can get custom Durable Sun Screen Fabric.

Maybe you can google for greenhouse shade and find the % of shade available. Similar to this place. https://super-screen.com/super-screen/#

Good luck!
