Had a plant that nearly died from the frost and cold last year, so
wish to insulate from the cold and its to be kept on a small patio
outside, but adjacent to the house.

The patio consists of paving slabs (placed on a hardcore of broken
bricks base) about nine inches above the soil level.

I intend wrapping bubble wrap around the plant (a bamboo) and the pot.
Bearing in mind the ground soil (and maybe these slabs? )are sometimes
warmer than the air temperature, should i *insulate* the pot from the
patio slabs when i wrap in bubble wrap; or keep the pot placed next to
the paving slabs, and just place the bubble wrap over plant and pot.



Does it need repotting?
I would keep it on the slabs(because they radiate heat) and put a fleece
around the pot and plant. I don't know if bubble wrap would be the choice.
