I have several tropicals, and the care guides for most of them say they should not be outside when temps drop below 10C/50F.
Weather here has turned sort of demonic. We will have 5-6 days way of lows at 16C/60F and highs way above that, followed by two or three days of below. The low last night was 42F/6C or so. Tonight not as cold, but still way below the limit. Long range says expect another three nights like this in eight days, and another one week after that, but only 2 degrees below and only for one night.
I want to move the plants outdoors and I want them to get sunshine, etc., all the benefits of outdoors. They should be playing outside just like the grandkids.
How dangerous is two hours below 50F/10C? Do the benefits of a week of sunshine, temps during the day at 25C/75F for hours and hours outweigh what could happen in two hours?
