HELP/TIPS NEEDED FOR TRANSITIONING PLANTS FROM INDOOR TO OUTDOOR or OUTDOOR TO INDOOR SAFELY/PROPERLY? Please note I keep the A/C on and it runs about 50% of the time to keep it between 74-78 inside at all times. I live in Arizona and our temps outside are averaging 95-105 daily. I’d really appreciate any advice/pro tips on how to properly transition plants back and forth without killing them. Thanks!

    I live on the Texas gulf coast. My a/c runs almost all year long because of the humidity and heat. I keep most plants on a covered patio in warmer months. I have several that can take full sun. I have to get them acclimated to full sunlight each time if they will end up in full sun. I take my plants out when night time temperatures are within the range they can take. I start fertilizing twice a month in the growing season. I bring them inside when nighttime temps are too cold for them. I use grow lights for almost all of them except the ones in south facing windows. I fertilize once a month or less in winter when growth slows.

    Well, you’ll want to be careful, most plants just can’t survive those temperatures at all. Even if they do, you’ll be watering them twice a day!
