Forcast low of 5 tonight

Post by greyhound »

...but so far we have strong northwesterly winds which is keeping the temp artificially high
Which plants should really be undercover tonight? Maybe I am just a little over zealous having lost loads of plants in the winter of 2010/2011 :cry:

I'm not too worried. Ok, I'm down south but we're not in winter just yet and temps will bounce up to low teens fairly quickly

I'm considering whether or not to bring the alocasia in. Everything else will be fine.

By all accounts warm/hot days make all the difference to how plants can cope with cold night temperatures. I envy you :)

Condensation running on the inside of the windows this morning, clearly wet & cold :(
