Needle Palms brought in from the cold

Post by dukeofdoom » Sat Jan 04, 2014 4:05 pm

I was going going to keep my needle palms outside, but chickened out due to the forecasts of lows not seen in decades.

So I dug them up today. Top 10 cm of the ground was mostly frozen, lowest temp this year was -18 Celsius so far.

Would it be better to keep these palms in an unheated garage or inside my house?
