It's important to slowly acclimate it to outdoor conditions to avoid shock.

Direct sunlight can be too harsh, causing the leaves to burn, so it's best to provide some shade.
Start by placing your Monstera outside for just a few hours each day, gradually increasing the time over a week.
This helps your plant adjust to the new environment without getting stressed.
