In my opinion, there is not a single tropical plant that would not do better outside in the spring and summer months, as long as proper shade and adequate water is supplied. Just be aware that sun from 10:00 AM till perhaps 4:00 PM will sunburn those leaves. You'll also need to keep up with watering (more frequently). Just the heat of the day will dry your plant out more quickly than when it is growing in controlled conditions.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
