Acclimation.
The gradual adjustment of a plant to a new light, temperature, or humidity environment.
What it means for your plants
Change exposure in stages, especially when moving a shade-grown plant into direct sun. Watch the foliage and new growth instead of assuming every plant adapts at the same speed.
IN PRACTICE
Moving a monstera nearer a sunny window over several steps can be gentler than moving it from a dark corner directly into a hot afternoon beam.
Put it into practice
Understand bright indirect light, window direction, seasonal changes, and how to choose a better location for indoor plants.
