I start trying to acclimate my semi tropicals to the brighter light of the
outdoors. However, there are a lot of days when it is cloudy and rainy here in
Soiuthern NJ. I usually keep the trees in doors during the inclement weather.


Why? Once I put the trees outdoors, I only bring them in if frost threatens.
The rain refreshes them & leaches out excess salts that may have accumulated
during the winter. And remember, a cloudy day outdoors is still brighter than
fluorescent lights.
