For future reference (I hate it when someone says that to me!) it's best to let a plant acclimatise to outdoor conditions. You do this by putting it outide in the day and bringing it back in at night for a week or 10 days. Then leave it out all the time for another few days (unless there's a frost forecast). By this time it's virtually coping out there on its own anyway. Then you plant it out. In the meanwhile, if it seems to have outgrown its accommodation a bigger pot is in order. (Whoops, got the i and the u mixed up first time round in the pot size there!)
As it is, it will need a few days to get used to it. Must be like being born - all that cosy warm darkness then they shove you out into the noisy, cold light! |
