Did you acclimate it gradually or just put it outside in much brighter conditions? Possibly burnt from too much sun too fast?

#### Lydia replied on 2023-06-05

I put it on the north side of the house and it got a lot of sun. That would sound about right if I just burnt it. Any ideas on how to help get it better?

Looks like sunburn. Those leaves are probably done for, but I bet the plant will recover with time. Just wait it out

As long as I didn’t kill it! Thank you!

1\) The leaves look sunburned

2\) From the picture it looks like the soil is dry

(Try to water it)
