I just bought my first plant and im wondering how i should set it up i went to the store and ordered 3 plants and a bag of soil... bought 6" pots with trays (plastic) also just bought a ikea small little glass greenhouse thing...2 gallons of distilled water... was wondering tho how i should set it up i do not have any sunny windows as the way my house faces is north and the south side is covered by porches as it gets hot here and thats the side the sun hits.. should i put them outside in the ikea glass greenhouse thing i bough on one of the porches so it can get morning sun or on the porch that gets the most sun but afternoon sun.. or should i keep them inside (69-75 degrees) in a window that gets bright light from outside but no direct sun? im so confuzzled on what to do.. i dont want them to die..

The two links in the first post answer most questions.

A glass greenhouse will fry your plants. Outside with full sun, when the temps are over 95F give them some partial shade during the hottest parts of the day.

right now its about 85 outside during the hottest time of day and in the 45-50's at night

Once you acclimate the plant, full sun will be great with those temps.
