Bigshoes,

I am no expert and there are several experts that frequent this forum - they may feel differently and are more than welcome to correct me if I am wrong - I really don't want to give out bad advice.....

I do have several questions - What size container is your Henryi in? I know they should be planted into a 1 gallon container and then allow the plant enough time to let the roots fill the container before they should be planted out in the garden. I know, before I learned that, that I had lost several by not following this plan for clems. The root ball needs to be well established before planting out in the yard. The other thing is when you plant him, put him in at about a 45 degree angle and plant him several inches deeper then the soil line. This way, if there are any problems with wilt, there will be growth nodes below the soil line that should kick in and Henryi will have a better chance of coming back.

Henryi being a type 2 is going to be more prone to wilt than the other types.

One more thing - I believe that it was on this thread that I learned, there should be a good 6 weeks or more from the time you plant your clem in the soil and the time that the ground in your area freezes. There has to be enough time for the roots to become established in the ground.

So, if Henryi is not in a 1 gallon container, I would plant him into one and if the ground in your area is frozen or will freeze very shortly, I personally would wait before putting him outside. I hope this answers your question - I may have taken the long way around.
