Recently I just bought a 4 tier mini greenhouse from kijiji to grow some plants! It's location is on my patio which does get a lot of sun so I probably have to set up some sort of shade cloth over it. Can anybody suggest some cool plants (doesn't have to be CPs) that I can start growing in there?

I grow my larger Neps in one of those. Some of the thinner leaved Tillandsia would probably enjoy that environment.

Would they be fine outdoors during the summer and maybe autumn? My nepenthes Jaqalineae x Izumiae hasn't been doing very well like the other neps so I do feel inclined to move it outdoors and maybe the temp drop at night will be better for it.

As long as the temperature inside the greenhouse doesn't get too high. Also, I've found that N. jacq. x izumiae does better in slightly lower light levels than most Neps. What are the temps/light levels it is receiving now?

Temperatures stays around 25 to 27 (27 on very hot days) and drops to around 19-23 at night. For light I have 4, 4ft 32 watt t8s.

Are the leaves a bit red or thin?
