I have a plant that does not like the sun, help!?

i have a goji plant that is next to a window indoors where the sun does not usually shine. i give this plant artificial light all day and it does fine. but when i woke up this morning and found the sun shining on the top part of the plant, the top part wilted and the shaded part of the plant was fine. the soil was not dry either. However, tonight the plant stopped wilting. i want to bring it outdoors in the summer but i am scared that the sun will kill it by making it wilt. What should I do?

sounds like a vampire plant to me. see if it casts a shadow. if not you need to drive a wooden steak through its heart
Reply:Do as you normally do. Keep it under the artificial light and keep it away from the sun period.
Reply:Can you put it on the northside of your place? That way it's outside but (usually) out o the sun.
Reply:Find a place outdoors that is in full shade all day and put your goji there. Have you tried rooting cuttings in water?
Reply:You should probably move to Alaska where it's dark a lot.
Reply:interesting
Reply:Put it in a sheltered location outside for a week or so , then move it .
Reply:try putting it in your bathroom...it might benefit from the moisture.
Reply:Take it outside but keep it in a very shady spot
Reply:Sunlight shining through glass is really hot (like the inside of your car in the summer!). Most tropical plants, which includes most houseplants cannot tolerate direct sunlight. Just keep it out of direct sunlight %26amp; it should be fine.
