My approach has always been indoors to deep shade, deep shade to moderate
shade, moderate- to light shade, all over about a 10-day period.

Outdoors is fine, with the following caveats:

1. Don't move it out until 50° nighttime lows or higher are certain.

2. Transition it into brighter conditions, don't just taker it straight
outdoors.

What's the best way to do that?
I'm used to moving tomatoes and peppers outside and they don't
seem to mind the abrupt change.
What's the most idiot proof way for bringing them out?


I grow mine hung up with vandas here in PA, so I know they can handle it
pretty bright, but I think direct NC sun might be a bit too much, based
upon
my experience growing in SC.

Any suggestions on putting up a mini shade house on or around the deck?
