Hi, I need a little advice (it's about a bay laurel plant...
I have one in my apartment, but this one is currently in my garage. It belongs to my grandma and is usually outside. Because it was winter and very cold, she gave it to me so I could put it in my garage (since my grandma doesn't have one). I've been watering the bay regularly (even before I started using this great app) and I've wrapped it in a blanket (because of the cold). Now its leaves have turned a bit brownish and some look dried out 😓 (even though I've been watering it). Is that normal? Is there anything I can do about it? Any ideas? #outdoorgrowing #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy

@PetTutu5 I’m assuming you’re in Hamburg Germany? Not sure what Zone you’re in but Google says in Zones 7 and below it should be moved indoors for the winter, while Zones 8 and above it can stay outside. I’d say keep it protected until the chance of frost is gone. You could try slowly acclimating it to inside until winter is over. Just make the move gradual, no big changes in temperature. Or big changes in sunlight either. It’s not had sun on its leaves for a while and will need to adjust slowly over several days.
Hi 👋 @PetTutu5 What are the lighting conditions in the garage? This plant can tolerate some cold and reduced water during the winter but it still needs some light. Is there a window in the garage?
Thanks for your inquiry @MariansOasis
My garage unfortunately has no windows. However, the bay laurel is near a door where some light always comes through, and the door is opened several times a day. Perhaps that's actually not enough light. Can I bring the bay laurel indoors, or might the plant not like that because of the temperature change? Or could I put the plant outside? (It's been consistently warm during the day, but there's been a slight frost at night.)
