| It's too soon to bring everything in (still finishing my GH floor) We have about 2 hours (7 to 8 am, sun will be up)of these temps. Will this have a negative impact on my sensitive plants? (plumeria, citrus, basil and other herbs, I also have a bunch of other plants that will ultimately be kept in the GH for the winter (ferns, mandevillas etc).
Just need some reassurance that a few hours wont kill/hurt them? |

| Citrus and plumeria will be fine. I don't know about the others, I'm sure somebody else does. YOu know that plumeria is deciduous so it's going to lose leaves in the winter anyway. |

| As long as there is no frost all should be OK |

| Not all of my plants have been moved into the greenhouse and the only one that suffered any damage from temps below 40 F was my Cryptostegia grandiflora. My mandevillas are still in the garden and doing well even though we've had a couple nights with frost. I'd better not push my luck and get them dug up but I wouldn't worry about your plants with those temps, especially if it's only for a short time. |
