when to get some sun.

OK i live in the midwest zone 6 illinois. my weather changes day by day here. one day its 15 outside the next day close to 60. dont like the weather here just wait somtimes it changes in a few hours. i know i cannot leave my potted fig outside over night. but on these warmer days would it hurt to take them out to get a little sun and fresh air. the house is maintaned around 70. so if its 50 outside can these guys go soak up some rays. or will a temp change like that hurt them. what can i do here at what temps?

On nights when the temperature is to go below 45F all young recently rooted figs spend the night in the house. Once the temperature goes above 45F the next morning out they go. If the forcast is above that they stay outside over night. No problems. The forcast is above 45F for the next week. I think being in the sunlight far exceeds any negative effects of the cooler temperatures. I read on here about Black Maderia not liking cooler temperatures. I have six I rooted this year and they look great.
