Start moving some houseplants outside for the summer once nighttime temperatures are at least 60°F.

Don’t put them in full sun or a windy location right away. They should be slowly acclimated, or hardened off, to the great outdoors: First, place them in a shaded location that is protected from wind for a few days.

Then move them to a slightly sunnier location for a few days.

Finally, put them in their final location for the summer.

This will prevent the leaves from getting sunscald, which can permanently damage them.
