| I put mine out in October after the worst heat is over in September. They usually stay out until about Christmas, when overnight temps start to get below 55. Like Jerry said above, it is the difference between what your plants are used to during the day. By putting plants out in our weather I really am giving them a 20-35 degree change and they do just fine with it. I start getting my first spikes in Jan/Feb.(blooming much later) Look for root or leaf growth now; that will tell you if your plant is happy enough!
