Greenhouses

I've got a small greenhouse that I usually use for cuttings and seed propagation. It's made with clear plastic covering 70% shadecloth. It works pretty well with seedlings and cuttings, but every more-advanced bonsai that I've stuck in there have come back out looking very unhealthy (with the exception of one Port Jackson Fig).

Is this because of the sudden change in environment or is there another reason??

Are there any additional considerations when putting plants in greenhouses (ie watering schedule)??

Are there any species that would/would not benefit from a spell in the greenhouse?? (for information, the species which I've seen to suffer have been a 'squamata' juniper and a cotoneaster).
