It's a pity you brought it in, Tom. They're bone hardy and would
probably cope. However, although they can deal with a lot of cold, their
leaves can take a beating in the wind.


I can put it back out, would either of you recommend that?

I don't have any soil though, I just have an exposed roof terrace so
everything is in pots.

I would most certainly put it outside, but not until I'd hardened it off.
If you're not familiar with this jargon, it simply means gradually exposing
the plant to the outdoors again (during the day and bringing it in at night)
so that it becomes used to the cold weather again and can cope with that
level of exposure. Because you've got no soil on the roof, I suggest you
raise it slightly off the ground then surround the pot with other pots or
old carpet (or similar), plus the wind break. It should certainly survive
that. It doesn't normally need pampering; you're having to take special
care now because you've accustomed it to indoor temperatures.
