Salt can harm shrubs and turf near sidewalks. Use sand or calcium chloride instead. Move the Christmas tree outside only if buds remain unfurled. keep at 40 F, bright light, and consistent watering.

Fragile Dragon and Hardy Hoya Care Notes for Houseplants
The Dragon Tree Dracaena marginata is praised as tough despite its fragile look and prefers light watering, indirect sun, and temperatures between 65 and 85 F. Overwatering harms it, brown leaf tips signal dry soil or hot air, and top cutting and rooting in tap water can propagate tall specimens. The Hoya or Wax Plant blooms with bright light high humidity and phosphorus rich fertilizer.
