overwintering advice please?

17 years ago

I have several plumie cuttings that rooted well this year and I have them potted up. Can I store these near a basement window? They get limited daytime light near this southern window, but the night temps and drafts go down to 45*. Is this a bad place for them if I keep them pretty dry?

I live in CT--advice for northern culture would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

To be safe, I would try to find a place that's warmer. Like at least 55 degrees.

I only started with plumies since I moved south (FL) but if I were you, I'd keep them warmish in my house. But then Im also very paranoid about my plants :) You heat your house right? Keep them warm like you'd like to be. Doesnt mean they'll bloom in winter, just kept alive.
Like I said, Im no expert in growing in the north. Just my 2cents
