Hi all. I’m in zone 9 in coastal Alabama where we had the crazy fluke snow storm. My outside plants have been covered with frost cloth, painter’s canvas drop cloths or both in some cases. I have removed the canvas covers on the ones getting sunshine now (temps are about 40oF, the others are getting light through the coverings) but I have gardenias that won’t get any sun today at all, just shade, and they are covered with frost cloth & canvas tarp. It has stayed above freezing under there (thanks to xmas lights, too) according to my thermometer. Am I wrong to keep it covered for one more day and night? Tomorrow should see significantly warmer temps. Also, should I take my Xanadu philodendron outside for some sunshine even though it’s too cold for them? They do not get enough light inside my house so idk the worst of the two evils. Tia. Sorry so long.
