Hello. What is your minimum indoor temperature in winter? Do you keep plants in the greenhouse for winter or the house?
new member
some of the plants are kept in a outbuilding, the coldest i have measured in there is -4 C, the rest of the plants are kept in the house i dont know the minimum temp indoors, the one i´ve had the longest is a cordyline i´ve had it 18 years now

Welcome. Sounds like you have a very challenging climate. What's the average low temperatures in winter? I have some tender plants and keep in a polytunnel outside which has a small electric heater in it.
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.

As Tom asks, how often is it down to -4?
new member
the average temp in winter is -3, but we usually have many nights without frost and some nights it may be as low as -15 to -20 C. last winter was unusually cold and long, i think maybe 3 or 4 times i recorded -4 where the plants are and the outside was close to -15 on those nights. this winter we had a lot of days with below 0 but that is rare, the lowest average daytime temp in winter is +2 in jan. i am hoping that most of the plants that can tolerate -8 to -10 and lower will survive in that room the next many winters, all other plants will be keept indoors
