Hi, we have not yet had a freeze where I live and I purchased two one-gallon babies yesterday. One has no leaves, the other one still has some leaves on, and I think is still turning. Temps at night have been low 40s, high 30s. I would like to repot them before winter hits, but not if it puts them at risk. My alternate plan is to take them out of the one gallons but leave the roots alone and just put them into a larger pot, with well-draining soil, or put the whole pot into a larger one with soil or bubble wrap for temperature protection.

They are 'Geisha' and 'Baby Lace'. The latter is to replace the one I lost this spring.
