Newbie Question

9 years ago

This is my first summer with my plumeria. I have a number of 2-3 year old seedlings and one large plant that is going to bloom in the next week or so. The issue is I'm in Canada and the weather has just turned nice. The days are generally from 70-80F and sunny, with the nights going down to the low to mid 50's.

My question...the plants are currently indoors under artificial lights with indirect sunlight. Can I safely take them outside for the summer? Also, if there is rain, should I shelter them / bring them inside?

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated...

Yes the should be just fine. Be sure to acclimate them to the sun. Filtered Shade for a few weeks. Water as they get dry.
