Soil Temperature for Container Citrus indoors

11 years ago

I live in MI, what is the ideal Soil Temperature, day, night ? till they go outside when the weather warms up. I don't want root rot with cool temperatures and i can heat up the soil with bottom heat. My Sunroom gets down to 55 degrees by the windows on the floor. At Night i move them up to a 3 foot high table where it is warmer.

i would guesstimate around 65'F for night temps. and probably no more than a 20' temp change, so up to 85'F for day time.
