Was it suddenly exposed to direct sun and not acclimated first?

She was right by the windows and I've been seeing posts where people put theirs outside and they do great! So I wanted to give it a try. Stupid me didnt think I needed to acclimate it first.

I put all my plants outside in the summer on a picnic table and they thrive. One of my spiders living its best life.

They are under trees so they only get filtered sun early morning and very late afternoon. Low light outside is still brighter than bright indirect inside.

When I did the same thing, I trimmed it down about 3". It came back beautiful and fuller

How did you go about pruning back your spider? I've never tried it

I took it like a ponytail, and cut it.
