How do you overwinter your plants? A close friend lives in Plano and she lost a good sized Sago I'd given her even though it was in her unheated garage during cold spells.

I only have one plumeria that was in ground and almost lost in that ghastly freeze a couple of winter ago but I've gotten the plumeria itch just looking at the plants posted here.

These plumeria people are really enablers for plant addicts

I huddle all of my plants in front of 2 south facing windows. My dining room and den are crowded with plants during winter, so I'm always so relieved to put them outside once it warms up. Some lost a lot of growth and I had to deal with white flies all over my plants, but as soon as I put them outside during spring they do wonderful the rest of the year. Most of my windows are on the north side of my house so I have to crowd my plants in front of the 2 windows. I did lose a banana plant 3 years ago because there wasn't enough light. My plumeria didn't mind the low light, I just let all of the leaves fall off and water it once every 3 weeks.
