Fost free is much more important than light, at this time of year,
most will be semi dormant, not a lot of watering, but they must not go
dust dry, picking up the pot,and feeling the weight is a good methord,
don't worry if the top of the compost is dry its the rootball you need
to keep alive.

I have a few that I really don't want to lose, and they have their
pots, planted within a larger pot of compost, so that the rootball has
another two inches of insulation to protect it in every direction

We have had ten years of mild winters, The wise plan for the worst,
and hope for the best!

And DO remember that waterlogging kills mas many plants as frost;
even if not always the same ones!
