Hi All,
I live in Bay area(Cupertino, CA). I have a small 16" curry plant in a pot. I currently have this outdoors. Will it help if i bring this plant indoors during winter(or atleast during nights). As i might get a little bit of sunlight even during winter i an thinking of leaving it ourdoors during day and keeping it indoors under grow light(40 watts flouracent!!!) during night. Pls. suggest me whether it makes sense.
Thanks in advance |

| i live in zone 7 and keep my curry plants indoors throughout the winter months. i start when the low temperatures begin to dip below around 60 degrees. i have friends who keep the plant outside in the daytime but i am too afraid that i might forget to bring it in. i do not use any special light inside, just keep it by a window.the only problem i have experienced is scale infestations. |

| It is difficult to predict how low night time temps will fall.As long as the temps. remain above 60 deg. F plant will be O.K..A spell of snow or temps. bellow 55 deg. is likely to kill the plant.If you are not sure about range of night time temp. variations in/out process will do good to your plant. |

Hi Pvel & Chaman,
Thanks a lot for the response. I think i can follow in/out process. BTW will it continue to grow if i follow this or anyway will go dormant? |
