Hey guys,

I am wondering if I should bring my potted palms (3 Pygmy Dates) (1 Sago cycad) (1 Majesty) (1 bottle) outside. The weather seems to be warming up and staying that way. Here are the upcoming temperatures for my area. IMG_0023.thumb.png.df5eb38fdf10cd7f55b6e581d41fdbb0.png

The only thing that worries me are those nighttime low temps. Should I wait a little longer? Thank you

I'd bring them in on the nights below 40F since they are in pots.  Also, if you're outside the city, you could see temperatures significantly below what interior Pittsburgh records, and will almost certainly see frost at or below 35F.

Thanks for the tip! The weather shown is for my EXACT location. I’m about 10 mins away from Pittsburgh, but I’m so close to it that it displays it as my location. In other words those are the true temperatures
