Rule of thumb here for tropicals to not need cold protection is whenever the night temperature will not go below 55deg. I stretch it to 50 sometimes, but . . . why take a chance?

I would think all those plants would do well outside as long as it doesn't get cold at night. Some need to be in the shade, though. Blazing direct sun on a plant that has been indoors can burn foliage, so acclimate them gradually.
