I moved my plants outside because my bay window in my new house was getting very little light.
I plan to move them inside during the winter. I have a hardware cloth 2x2x2 foot cube I put over the majority of them to keep animals off. I go home and water them during lunch and man I never realized how good they are at catching bugs. Within 2-3 minutes, I saw two ants die to a sarr and a nep and a couple more wandering around the VFTs.
You live near the Bay Area but humidity and temps are still a problem? Hmmmm Perhaps you should try some bubbled shade, like trough a thin foiliage tree or you should try a 30% shadecloth. I live in temecula where temps rise to 90's and 100's outside during the summer and high 60's during the winter(night time winter temps are in the 30's.) My plants grow well under 70% shadecloth. For wind protection, I use an open top plexi glass Green house. They are really easy to make. Get 4 wooden stakes and drill the panes of plexi glass to the 4 stakes to create a rectangular open top green house. I still think outside is the way to go. Adapt your plants gradually. Arubt transitions are lethal to your plants.
i think my sarrs are doing good ryte now indoors in the windowsil, its way too windy ryte now, my babies cant handle it, and my dad will nag me more make somthing like a green house
