    To protect from frost, if they are in the ground you can cover with something like tarp or sheet, if in pots bring inside or a sheltered location like garage. Good luck little plants! It’s gonna be a tough week for the frost sensitive ones.

      They’re in pots, but trapped in an inconvenient part of my narrow balcony where bringing them in would mean moving half my plants around (and tbh the curry leaf plants are big fellas that I don’t really have space for indoors any more, I used to bring them in in past years).

      If I was organised enough I’d have acquired a bit of geotextile or something to drape over the plants but I’m just going to hope they’re protected enough in their awkward corner with the brick wall and partial shelter. 🤞 I doubt anything will die, except maybe this chilli plant that’s been hanging in there for over 3 years.

        Doesn’t have to be geotextile - an old towel or a sheet folded double will do perfectly well to protect them. Sheets are lighter and don’t squash the plants as much as towels.

        Hope all your plants will be ok.

        I’m the furthest thing away from being a green thumb so I have no idea what’ll happen to your plants if they’re outside and it gets that cold.
