Here is my gorgeous young Thai Constellation. Following the excellent advice in this subreddit, I've acclimated her to about as much light as I can reasonably give her. And she has thanked me by giving me two beautiful leaves in the past 12 weeks. 

So this plant, as well as my young Mint Monstera, get put outside on my west-facing back deck every afternoon and get 3-6 hours of full direct afternoon sun. Obviously I acclimated the plants to this by putting them out for an hour at a time initially. I live in the PNW. They have been getting this treatment for about the past month.

Zero signs of sunburn or any sun stress that I can tell. However... The geniculums of my Thai Con have slowly oriented the leaves to face the ground, as you can see in the photo.

Is u/shiftyskellyton around to weigh in on this? Is this a sign I should back off, bring them back in behind the window, even though I don't see any other signs of sun stress? Or is this normal outdoor monstera mechanics? 

When the dark season comes, she will be back to living indoors full time, on her pedestal with a dedicated vertical grow light, and I assume that after a few weeks of that set up, I should expect the leaves to reorient to face forward?

Thanks for your help, I really love this Monstera, I did not ever expect to be so delighted by a plant. Obviously you guys get it - I mean just look at her. 💚

Acclimated to direct sun, leaves face the ground.
