My concern is that something in a pot could have trouble with the drastic temperature fluctuations that we experience here in the winter. We may have a week of temps in the upper 60's in the middle of January, then within 24 hours the temperature will drop to the teens with wind chills in the single digits. That's why I was curious as to whether it would be better to put the plant in the garage in the winter or would you suggest just keeping it in a more protected corner on the deck, closer to the house? Today, it's already in the 90's. I've watered & misted once. If it seems a little dry later on the same day, should I go ahead and water again or do I run the risk of overwatering? * P.S.
