Freezing weather this weekenc
I just finished moving all of my tropical plants outdoor last week.
I am living Dallas, TX area where statically the winter should be over. However, for some strange reason, I heard on the news that this weekend the temp will be dropping to near freezing in the morning hours. Questions: Do I have to be concerned about my plants that are outside? This is going very short (few hours). Will the plants survive such a short time of temp dropped? Thanks in advance, JIMMY |

Thanks in advance, JIMMY Depends on which plants they are, some will tolerate some cold, some die quickly. |

Jimmy, I believe our average last killing frost in Dallas is usually mid March. So be aware even later freezes may occur. Lar |

Thanks in advance, JIMMY A florist told me over just this last weekend that plant tissue can freeze in mere seconds. If you treasure them, move them back inside. Especially any succulent types with water-laden leaves -- Jade trees, Hoya, cactus, etc. |

Thanks in advance, JIMMY Can you drape Xmas lights through/around them? probably enough heat to give protection from near frost temps, especially if a cover is also used. Yeah, as said - anything valuable should be brought back in. And I also read last average frost is mid-march. Carl -- to reply, change ( .not) to ( .net) |
