T. Fortunei outside?

Post by Arctic Palm » Mon Apr 16, 2007 4:31 pm

Hello,

I have 2 T. Fortunei about a year old. I am wondering if they should be outside yet? I have been told they should be. The weather is about 4-8 Celsius during the day and about -1 to -4 at night. It is pretty damp and rainy as well. I have had them inside since I got them but was told they would do better outside.
Does anyone have some advice on this, should I wait till it's a little warmer?

Thanks
Here is a pic of them

Yours look happy where they are, I might be inclined to wait or week or two until lows are at least 0C +

Knnn,

I Took them outside yesterday but I pulled them back in at night. I think I will wait, Temps are warming up big time by the weekend. I think a few more days inside won't hurt.

Thanks

They can easily handle -1 or -4C

Mine never come inside and they are not even phased at those temps.
