We live in Houston TX, temperature here is more humid outside, and since we always have our AC on 74° my family plants seems like to grow slower. I've been thinking to move them outside in this greenhouse that haven't use much. But I'm still afraid to do so, since I'm a little bit overprotective with my plants, scared of burning leaf and pests.. Should I move them or not? I've been thinking it for more than a week now. 😪

I have the same issue. I live in VA. It’s 87% humidity outside right now and 57% inside. I plan to keep them inside because I get to look at them all the time and that’s why I have them.
I live in NC and moved some of my plants outside this year to take advantage of the heat and humidity. The ones outside are growing like crazy and super happy. I don’t use a greenhouse, I have them in areas with some shade and some dappled sunlight or morning/evening sun. They were growing so well I moved some of my special babies out too to take advantage of juicing them up before they have to come inside for the winter. I do my daily plant walk (multiple times a day who am I kidding) and check for pests. I have found a few mealy bugs and spray and wipe immediately. I def have some ladybugs and spiders helping control pests and when it’s time to move them all inside it’ll be a process of de- bugging them but watching the growth has been worth it. I’ll attach a pic of my BMF. Bought it – had one leaf with one fenestration, put a smaller leaf out with no fenestration in the house, put her outside and next leaf is sizing up and has two fenestration. Mind you my house has little natural light and I use grow lights. I think sunlight would make a big difference.

I’m in the south Houston suburbs, every year there has been a mealy bug swarm, I’d be very cautious of putting them outside, but what about if you put the greenhouse inside? Or build an enclosure in the house to contain humidity?
What is the tall plant stand coupled with the SANSI bulb called? Is it also SANSI?
