Plastic greenhouse question

Hi Guy's
I was wondering if I could put my Holiday and Easter cactus in one of those small plastic greenhouses to summer out doors or would it be best to just have them on a stand outside?
I'm new to 'vacationing' my plants outside (this will be my first year) so I figure now's the time to ask

Thanks for any help

Hi -- You could do either. It's probably best to have them out on a stand if temperatures allow for that. What would the summer temp range be where you are located? Vegetative growth rate increases as temperature increases above 50Ã‚Â°F (10-25C). They shouldn't be subjected to temps below 50°.

Id put them on the north side of our house in shade,I think I'll nix the greenhouse idea...how do you treat for bug's before bringing them back inside?
Thanks for the help!
