Hardening Off is the act of progressively acclimating an indoor plant to the outdoors before transplanting it outside. This gradual acclimatization to direct sunshine, wind, rain, and temperature variations is critical to preventing damage to your fragile plants.
Worse case: you can kill the plant.
All plants, including vegetable seedlings, perennials, and annuals, that have been grown indoors (at home, in a garden centre, or in a greenhouse), must be progressively acclimatized to the outside environment. On the first day, leave them outside in a covered place for an hour. Increase the duration of time and exposure to the sun each day for the next few days. Some plants can take up to a week or more. The plants will then be ready for planting in the garden.

Place them in a safe, shady area for 10 to 14 days before transporting them to their final destination.
