  • plug plants

    Hi, I have fuchsia and geranium plug plants, they are in the house at the moment, do you think they would be ok in a unheated greenhouse , with fleece over them at night, I have dahlia seedlings in the greenhouse and they have been OK, just worried incase I kill the plug plants, thanks

    I had tender plugs last year, I kept them inside unless the temperature was 10c in the greenhouse in the day and bought them in every night until night time temps were 10c too.
    Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
    Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result

      I think Dahlias, Fuchsias and Pelargoniums will all survive in a cold greenhouse as long as you can stop them freezing. But I would bring them in on those clear frosty nights when it can be even colder in the greenhouse than outside.

        I wouldn't risk it - My memory is rubbish, and it only takes one cold night.

        I managed to kill one of my Phalaenopsisorchids by leaving it in my unheated conservatory earlier this year.
