Bringing humid seedlings outside

I really didn’t want to do this. But my tropica more humid palms. Sabal cane bottle solitaire Bangalow etc I had in the house. Around 77f and 40 percent humidity. I wanted to grow them to be used to more indoor temps since they will be inside 6 months a year. But today I caved. Outside is 92 f and 70 percent humidity everyday for a few weeks. (Finally) my foxtails and Bismarck’s are out there too. I just wanted to let them grow like weeds. But I’m worried that doing this will make them less hardy in the long run. My dates. Windmills and Cali fan palms are growing like weeds inside and we know they are more suitable for inside than the others

Ok. Just thought bringing them up in an environment that’s different than their normal would help toughen them up

I call them humid because I know my Washingtonia trachycarpus and Phoenix are ok inside drier. If anyone wondered why I called those humid

Tropical palms cannot be "trained" to be hardier nor can they be raised to better tolerate dark, chilly, dry northern homes. You will not "spoil" them by giving them what nature intended them to have. You must bend to their requirements for heat, humidity and, if applicable, full sun. If you can't or won't, they will live short, miserable lives.
