if you have mist on them, they can take 110 easy in the greenhouse, but I put them under 30% shade and keep them well watered, when it's that hot in there. Which it was pretty much every day this summer. if you let them get too dry when it's that hot and then you get some breeze while they're still dry, the leaves shred just like when they get frosted, and then the wind blows....
