[IBC] Transition for semi-tropicals
All of my tropicals are inside and under lights - I'm still having a bear of
a time getting the humidity as high as I'd like! Anyway, my semi-tropicals are on my unheated sunporch and seeing 40's at night. My Kingsvilles are still outside. When temps start dropping too low at night and I need to bring all of the semi-tropicals inside...how do I transition them or is that necessary? They'll be going from daytime 50's/60's and nightime 30's/40's to daytime high 70's and nightime 60's. The sudden change won't kill them, will it?

[IBC] Transition for semi-tropicals
Jeff:
I, also, have all my tropic and sub tropicals indoors. I purchased a new humidifier this year, and find that my humidity stays around 55 to 60% when the temperatures are 70 to 80, but when the temperatures rise to close to 95 I notice the Humidity drops to 45 to 50. The only thing I did to prepare my trees for the indoors was give them a good heavy spray with water to eliminate the pest population... My indoor temperatures have been around 70 to 80 all night and I have to turn my two heaters off during the day when the sun is on the Green house, otherwise I am looking at 110 degrees with a 45 percent humidity.... :-( Only one Bougainvillea (I have five other Bougainvilleas that didn't miss a beat) out of the the thirty six trees decided to pout and drop its leaves, but in less than a week there is new growth all over the tree. I would just say be very observant of your trees when you do bring them in..... you may want to supplement the indoors with a little more heat.... Of course, this is just a matter of my opinion.

to daytime high 70's and nightime 60's. The sudden change won't kill them, will it? BRBR No, they don't care, as long as they have enough light & humidity.
