When googling, I was convinced that I could put this plant outside for the summer (in Ontario). Now I’m second guessing this. What have people found?  
Before putting it outside, this plant and I have not been getting along over too well for the past few years 😅

I had a few I moved into a window that gets direct sun and they burned like this. Green has been coming back though! Seems like I just didn’t give a good adjustment period to the brighter light.

Also in Ontario, I have found mine has been doing the best in a west facing window. I have had mine for two years and it has been doing pretty good (except for my current gnat problem). It has grown a lot, produced some offsets and grown 3 flowers stems.

Most cacti and succulents will get sunburn in direct sunlight of more than 4-6 hours. Bright indirect light works best ☺️☺️
