I have a Ensete Glaucum that I grew from seed, it has about 2 feet of pstem and looks great while in the greenhouse, but if I take it outside, the leaves burn literally in 10 minutes. It gets full sun in the greenhouse minus maybe 10 percent or less for the pvc cover, but if i put it out like today for example, on a 75 degree day, the leaves shrivel, anybody else have this problem?

Put a strong fan on it in the greenhouse. Does it get the silver colour burn on it? Thats purely sun burn.

The edges just get real crisp, maybe it didn't have as much water in the pot as I thought. I went ahead and planted it today, so hopefully it wont get worse lol

Ya that sounds just like low humidity and the wind pulling the water out of the plant faster than it uptake it through its roots.
