@StockyHawkswing Welcome to the Greg community! I would say that it depends a lot on how cold it gets in your house. But to care for a cinnamon plant during cold weather, move it indoors before temperatures drop below 68°F (20°C). If you can't move it indoors, protect it with frost cloths or blankets on cold nights. Apply mulch around the base to insulate the roots. Indoor Environment:
Provide bright, indirect sunlight.
Ensure the plant is in a well-draining pot.
Monitor for pests like mealybugs and leaf miners.
Consider using a humidifier or pebble tray to increase humidity.
Avoid Overwatering: Cinnamon plants don't need as much water in the winter.
Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and encourage new growth.
Fertilizing: Avoid fertilizing in the winter, as the plant will be dormant. Hope this helps, Happy Growing!!

@StockyHawkswing Thank you for marking my answer as „Best“ it is nice to see how much my efforts to help are appreciated, you have made my day!!
@Ms.Persnickety awesome advice! I didn’t think about the solution but now that you mention it, that is a smart idea. Thank you!
@Ms.Persnickety thank you for you’re wonderful advice. We have mild winters in Arizona but there are times when we dip into the 20’s Fahrenheit. At present I’ve placed my cinnamon outside amongst my other potted plants where she gets filtered light. She’s sitting in the same pot she arrived in with drainage directly on the ground. I had her in the southern side of the house indoors where she was getting direct sunlight but noticed he leaves were turning ashy looking as if not enough water. I would check her soil daily to make sure she was neither too wet or dry. I was also putting her in a tub for deep watering on the days she needed to be watered. I decided to take a chance and let her breathe and share space with my other plants and she’s thriving. I hope if I do have to let@her reside outside that I will give her all the protection she will need even if@I have to give her a heating pad☺️.
@Ms.Persnickety that makes me happy too. I learn new things from my new friends and get to share little things I’ve learned in hopes that all of us together can grow our non human friends and help them thrive. ☺️ I love plants and animals so much that sometimes I lose my days because my days are spent caring for my 3 ps’. The people I live with, hubs and grandson, all my pets and my plants. I gain so much peace. Lotta p’s😊
