I hope you are not siggesting you keep them indoors. These plants need to be outside yearround, and need a period of cold to drop their leaves and 'go to sleep' -dormancy.

Which part of "These plants need to be outside yearround" was it that you did not understand ?

The Loropetalum needs a cold period, so you will at least need a cold room - if you don't want to put it outside. The elm... is a bit different. It is semi-deciduous; it will be deciduous in cold climates, but evergreen in warmer ones. You won't know what your elm is used to and how well it will do indoors. I'd prefer to have that one outside, or at least in a cold room too.

Ok thanks for the help would it be ok if I keep them out doors on my balcay in the day time and bring them back in at night that way they will get the cold temp but not to cold like at night
