chilly

I guess I should be, but they saw a few nights in the 40's last year with no ill effects. After Sunday, it's supposed to warm up a bit. I'm not doing the two-step. Once they're in , they're in.
 
nah

“in” is relative....feels like fall today, only significantly weakened ones and crape will go into garage, tropicals in house at 38* f
 
I just brought all my tropicals (desmodium,water jasmine, ficus, jaboticaba, bougies, adenium and carambola) into my greenhouse a couple hrs ago, supposed to be down to the 40s at night here for the next few nights. Am I supposed to leave a fan running all the time even with the heater on? This is my first year with then greenhouse so I have much too learn. Thanks.
 
Yup. Until it drops below 40f I don’t worry about them. My tropicals and succulents have seen the 40s every year and they’ve never complained.

Nope, didnt move a thing. Its 54 degrees here right now and everything is still outside on the benches, including my tropicals.

Anything that isnt tropical wants to experience frost a few times and some even a mild freeze before being put to bed for the winter.

Yes, air circulation is important.
 
I woke up to 37 this morning......but I refuse to buy tropicals... the shuffle is a pita
 
Congratulations to the new non-shufflers!

Your trees will be noticably healthier!

I'm waiting too.

Everyone GOING in... has BEEN in.

This would have saved my Scots that is presently waiting to die with its pot already interred in the cemetery ground.
 
I finished all my tropicals yesterday and it was 39 F last night. Will be mid 30s next two nights. I will not shuffle mine in and out even on warm days. The shorter daylight hours set up physiological changes I am not ready to deal with on my vigorous growing tender plants.

I only had it since May, didn't have fruit or flower this year but it had fruits before so the guy said. I bought it from Maivangflorida.com. He posted a YouTube video and I just gotta have it lol. Hopefully it will fruit next year for me.
