I have had this tree for 3 years. It has been living indoors since I owned it.
Now I own a house and have a place to put it outside do you think it would be ok?
Since the temperatures still get to the lower 40's at night I will have to bring it back in at night (till it gets warmer). Will moving it in and outdoors be hard on the tree?
I have been waiting till the temps outside get about 65 before moving it outside, so the temperature change is only about 5 degrees between in and outdoors since my house stays at about 70 degrees.
What do you think, does this seem ok to you?

IB, I find ALL trees, tropical or not, do better out of doors as soon as it is safe to do so; sure keep a few trees indoors as decoration, but rotate the whole bunch out of doors and watch what happens. We can diligently provide everything our trees need to live, but Nature produces what they need to thrive with out thought or effort; fresh air, good foliage washing with nice humidities, smoothly transitioning photoperiods with built in UV sterilization, biological innoculations, things we would have to spend thousands to provide indoors, Mother gives away free outside. It is your best resource for growing trees, really...
