mcvansoest said:Chris, how low are your lows generally? If wet, that Aloe probably gets damaged in the high 20s, if dry it can probably take mid to low 20s, without too much damage (some frozen leaves and or flower spikes), once well rooted it might survive lower Ts, but would get severely damaged. That is assuming you reach above freezing Ts during the day.


Generally in the 30s but could go lower depending on fronts that blow through. Could make it into the teens. As far as moisture goes it's really unpredictable. I think my best bet is just to get a larger and hopefully sturdier pot in the spring and repot it. It'll just have to be something I can manhandle into the greenhouse.
