If you’re moving a plant from a smaller pot to a bigger container, or if you’re moving a plant from the pot into the ground, you never want to move them into full sun immediately.
So, if you’re taking a plant from a smaller container and moving it into a bigger one, keep it in the shade or dappled light for the day. If you’re planting a plant from a pot out into the ground, try not to do it in the full sun of the day.
Moving a plant, even a strong, healthy one can be a little shocking for the plant. Even if it’s already been out in the full sun, the day you move it try to keep it in the shade or in dappled light.
You can put it back into the full sun the next day, but you don’t want to traumatize it any further the day that you’re moving it.
Hope that gardening tip helps! Happy growing, friends!
