I got this fiddle leaf fig a week ago and have been slowly trying to acclimate it to be outdoors on my east facing balcony. I’ve been putting it out in the shade for like 1 - 3 hours every morning at sunrise, but it’s still been getting scorch marks on the leaves. Anybody have any tips for continuing to adjust it to outdoors while still preventing the sunburn??
