everything you listed can take 50 degree nights so gradulaly move them out. Just avoid a sharp temperature change, but at these temperatures it does not seem like it will be a problem.

If your phals have been in the warm house all winter and not bloomed the temperature drop from 70 to 50 may still trigger blooming for you. It usually takes about a month of a 20 degree drop to trigger flowering.
