I have germinated several Catalpa tree seeds, and am also germinating Moscheutos Hibiscus and a Paulownia (I know) tree. We are in the country and have a very large lot in back, maybe an acre, where I want these trees. We have a sunroom on the south side. Am I right that these baby plants and my other house plants will be OK in this room unless it gets below 40F? Thanks, Jackie

No one else on these news groups ever recommend the latter. Why? I do not know. Paulownia trees grow in South Eastern USA. It gets pretty cold here. So does Catalpa. However you might have a problem with Hibiscus with lower temps.. Hibiscus is common in middle Florida.
