Well, first of all, it depends where you live, if your tropical then it might be fine, if your dry, you should probably keep them inside by a window and water them every other day. But if you live in just any other place then you'll have to put it in the right place make sure it gets enough sunlight and water it

They are better to grow outside they have sun and water or when you put them on a window side where the sun shines and water them daily then when they get big enough you can plant them outside.

Indoor plants will thrive in the outdoors if you provide the right conditions. Consider the primary rules of growing indoors as you're choosing outdoor locations for your indoors plants.

Plants that require low light such as Snake plant (Sanseviera) and philodendron can be placed at the back of a porch beneath the cover of the roof. Direct sunlight can burn these plants; especially those being moved in the heat of summer.

Moving plants that need or will tolerate direct sunlight takes time. Windows filter the sun's rays. Just as we harden off garden seedlings, we need to harden off house plants. Move them outside in light sunshine for two hours, then increase the amount of time and sun exposure by 20 minutes each day.

Indoor plants aren't exposed to an air current. Move the plants to an area with little air current in the beginning, and increase the strength of the current gradually. Watch the stems to be sure they are strong enough to support the plants in a light breeze and heavy wind. You can support the plants with dowels.

Plants grow faster outdoors than indoors because their roots are not contained. Learn their space requirements before transplanting them into the soil. They might need more space than expected. Increase fertilization gradually. Consider pruning if necessary.

Bright light, breeze, and rainfall affect the amount of water you'll need to give your plants. Check the soil in each plant pot by touching the surface with your fingers. The overall amount of moisture needed doesn't change.

If you're moving your indoor plants to the ground, you'll need to amend the soil. You need to know if the plant will thrive in sand, loam or a combination of the two. Clay soil is seldom good for plants of any kind. Allowing the plants to stay in their plant pots to acclimate to light and water before transplanting them into the ground will ease the transition.

You must take temperature and weather conditions into consideration. Indoor plants must be hardy to survive extreme heat and cold, frost, hail and snow. If in doubt, bring your plants indoors until you research their hardiness.

Your plants will be exposed to pests and disease. Inspect them daily in the beginning of the transitional phase. Look for holes, chewing, rips, browning, wilting and other signs of distress. Act on the problem as soon as possible. Treat the plant for its issue before bringing it indoors so that you don't spread it to other plants.
