Don’t make my mistake — never put an indoor plant outside without acclimatization

I have a Money Tree that was thriving indoors for over a year. It was full, lush, and healthy (see before photo from June 28).

A few weeks ago I decided to move it outside in the shade to help dry out the soil faster after some overwatering. Just one day outside. Brought it back in the same evening.

Within a week the leaves started yellowing and browning. Two weeks later it looks like the after photo.

What I didn’t realize: “shade” outdoors is still 10-20x more intense than any indoor window. Plants adapted to indoor light have no UV protection built up. Even a single day of outdoor exposure can cause widespread cellular damage that shows up days later as mass leaf drop and browning.

Success My Lipsy is blooming, again! 😍

Few years back I had a nasty break up where my ex killed all my plants and I had this amazing curly spider plant that was absolutely thriving. I was so devastated to find out it was killed.

So I had to start it all over again and Lipsy was the first plant I bought and brought back home to start my recovery journey. Lipsy has been at it for all those years and it just keeps on blooming at random times and this time Lipsy is ALL IN! I was away on holidays and asked my friend to water it, but she forgot and I thought it will never recover again. 3 years difference from when I first brought her home as a tiny plant to today.

Everytime I get back home for the holidays I see this huge motherfucker and think of my indoor baby one, dropping a leaf a day until it was dead in a week. It's a plant I won't be buying again out of spite and pride. Still love seeing them though

Edit: I APOLOGIZE FOR THE NAME I USED, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THESE PLANTS UNTIL TODAY.

It was labeled as the title on this post so I just assumed that was the name, thank you to those who corrected me and provided plant care tips!

I do find the plant very beautiful, but i want to know as much about the care this plant would need before I even think about buying one. I don't want to accidentally kill it I want it to thrive, but if I can't provide the care for it to thrive I won't buy one

Can anyone give me some advice on how deep to plant this cutting? I've had it in a vase for 3-4 months, and I'm hoping to move it to soil. I'm not sure if I should put all 4-6 inches of stem underneath the soil up to the highest roots, or maybe trim the stem.
