A week after laborday weekend...better put your plants indoors...you dont want them to experience frost.
Even near the window the plant will know it is getting colder outside and it will trigger its blooms...its not only temperature but also barometric pressure that the plants are sensitive to.
if it rains I make sure I hand spray the indoor plants a bit for they know that theres water in the air

Be careful about spraying the indoor plants, it doesn't do anything to raise humidity levels, and it's an invitation to disease issues especially if you spray late in the day.

Yes, from what I've been told, a humidifier is best for moisture control when keeping plants indoors (if you don't have a greenhouse or sunroom that is naturally humid).
