Lobelia help

I bought some lobelia plugs a couple of weeks ago and they're starting to outgrow they're trays. I'm still a beginner but from what I've read it's still a bit early to plant outside so should I repot them in bigger pots and leave in conservatory for now? Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

How big are they now? You want to wait till all risk of frost is gone really (not sure where you are in the country) so if you think they are too big for the container they are in now, I would pot them in the interim till they are ready to go out. I'm trying to grow them from seed this year so mine are still tiny!

It is a bit early but I've just planted all mine up outside. Keep an eye on the night time weather reports for the next couple of weeks, and if its set to stay above zero then they'll be fine. From what I've seen there might be a couple of nights where it will drop to zero or minus one, so for those I plan to wrap a bit of bubble wrap over the top of them. They'll be fine!...and for context I'm in the wilds of the north!

My lobelia have been planted out in pots and I'm in Scotland. I will try to keep an eye on the temp and move them next to the house if it's going to freeze but I will likely forget and they'll probably be fine.

Thanks all.

I've put them in bigger troughs for now but I'll maybe try and wait for another couple of weeks.
I'm in the NW so it's been cold and there was one day of frost last week.
