Some questions about Latania Lontaroides/Red Latan

Recommended Posts

Just ordered a new Latan for 40 usd or so. As I understand it has the same hardiness as a Coconut but is less hardy to long term chilly wheater. What tempratures are we talking about? 
As far as repotting it does it handle a really big pot as a smaller plant and are the roots sensitive?
Is it drought tolerant?
There is some questions on when to put it inside and how it handles being indoors for 1-2 months. I only got 1 window that gets medium amounts of sunshine. Its a Window facing Northeast. Plan is to put it inside for roughly 2 months when the first 32f/0c forecast arrives. 
I should barely water it while stored by the window right?

I would move it in on nights below 10°C until it gets bigger. Put it outside in the mornings. When noontime temps are below 15°, consider keeping it inside all day.

Hardier than coconut for me here in So Cal....

Really? I highly doubt I can plant it in the ground here. Even if we have a mild winter without it reaching 32f at night I guess it would die from the prolonged cold nights that are roughly 1-5celcius during the coldest part of the night them it warms up to 20-25c in the daytime. Very strange climate I got. I have seen Non hardy edible bananas get 0 damage and even fruit in winter so maybe in a perfect microclimate?

I assumed they’d be a no-go here as well, (San Diego) but they do ok, right down to near freezing.

Agree . Same for me here in inland empire . It gets spotty during winter but looks great during spring and summer and grows super quick in the heat .but coldest mine has seen is maybe around 38
