Is there any harm in leaving them in their supplied black plastic pots in
a
wind-sheltered passage way over the winter where I can look at them out
of
the kitchen window?


They may well need the odd drop of water from time to time as any
passageway is
likely to be rather dry for them. You might want to consider standing the
pot
on a tray that can be kept topped up with water from time to time.

Dave.

If you stand them in a tray they could very easily rot at the roots. I stand
my pots ( all year round on ) old carpet, I find this reduces the amount of
watering they need.
