They are indoor, but I don't believe they're too hot. They're not in any
special area, just the kitchen.

Do I take it they should be kept cooler rather than warm?

Blackthorn are an outdoor plant and one of the first to flower in early
spring - they're tough! That said, your kitchen shouldn't be desperately
warmer than outdoors at this time of year - except that once they are
getting to this temperature they need far more light than can be managed
indoors otherwise they'll get weak and leggy. And that in turn will make
them even more susceptible to drying out.

By the way, please don't top post. The convention in this group is to
bottom post (or post in-line) ad top posting makes a real muddle of the
threads.

Thanks for your reply,
