That was what I was planning on doing.

(Not often but it has definitely seen warm days) I got it in 2005 and it is still going strong. So a very robust and forgiving species.

Right now it's in a temporary pot but will probably repot tomorrow with bark/pumice mixture and then see if I have space for it somewhere outdoors in an area that is shaded.
