So my Miranda was getting too big for my indoor light and moved it outside. It has been outside for a week. Temps have been in the mid nineties. Gets only about 3-4 hours of direct sunlight. Was it the sudden increase in temps? Or was it the intensity change of real sun? Leave it or bring it back inside?

Mine got sunburned too.. I think it was the sudden intensity rather than the heat. Or a combination of both... I would shade it completely if you leave it outside indirect lighting. Or bring it back inside. You will lose all those burnt leaves, they will not recover. The plant will live but it will take a while to look good again..

If you leave it outside, the new leaves it will form will be strong enough to handle the intensity and won't burn again, or at least not as badly (until you take it back inside and then outside again after a few months).
