    It depends. Some plants are appropriate for keeping in an unheated greenhouse during the winter, and others are not.

    If you are in an area with cold winters, check the winter hardiness zones recommended for each of your houseplants. Also check the temperature inside your plastic greenhouse during the winter, at night and during the day. If the temperature drops below a level that is safe for your plants, they could be killed by the cold if kept in your greenhouse. Plants in pots are also more sensitive to the cold than those in the ground.

    Do not expose the plant to any direct sunlight.

    This is a good question. Plastics labeled 3, 6, and 7 (in the recycling symbol on the bottom) are thought to be the most likely to leach toxins. Other plastics are likely safer, but you may wish to avoid them all to be sure. Of course, you must consider whether the container was previously used to hold something toxic. When using old containers found in a garage or antique shop, it's best to avoid any painted containers in case the paint contains lead. Also, any salvaged wood that is stained green may contain arsenic preservatives and should not be used to build raised beds or other food gardening containers.

    Terra cotta/unglazed ceramic or untreated wood gardening containers are likely safest.

    It doesn't matter which direction you rotate them. just move them the opposite direction that they curve to the light.
