Acclimating m. 'Siam Ruby'
Hi all!
My plant has been doing okay indoors, but doesn't have any red color yet, I think due to sunlight. As the weather is nice, I would like to move it out during the day and bring it in at night. What is the best way to acclimate my plant? Can I do it at once? I live in zone 6 with the weather being nice at the 70s and 60s. At the lowest, it can go down into the 40s in early morning. Thanks Kbud

Re: Acclimating m. 'Siam Ruby'
If it doesn't get any colder than low 40's you can keep it out there all day/night long. However, if it gets too much sun all at once, you're likely to end up with sunburnt leaves. My SR always did get pretty toasty when I first moved it outdoors for the summer. However, it's not the end of the world....new leaves will come to replace the sunburnt ones. If you want to try to prevent the burning, ease it out by either putting it in a partially sunny, partially shady place at first. Or you could bring it out for a few hours a day until it's more used to the sunlight.
