Beginner Gardening: Can this plant go outside?, 2 by tapla

I grow a number of scheffs - some at work, some as bonsai. Scheffs have a very strong will to live, and will take a LOT. When I put my plants out in the early summer, I either defoliate, or put them directly into full sun. I never mess with acclimating them to the brighter light. The leaves suffer sunburn (photo-oxidation) and fall off (if I don't defoliate) only to be quickly replaced by a fresh flush of growth that is perfectly acclimated to full sun and pristine (no blemishes) ..... so YES, the plant does well in full sun - at least it does N of Mason/Dixon.

I agree the plant should be repotted. I treat the roots much more aggressively than Gita. These were defoliated a week before Father's Day. The larger plant is a root over rock composition I started from a cutting. The last 2 pictures are plants I keep/maintain at my business
