Just remember that "frost" cloth does not stop freezing if the temperature goes below 30 for more than a couple of hours (as forecast).
Some of the truly tropical swill not survive.
In our 10 years here we lost every one of the several hibiscus plants, a robilini and a European fan palm.

We have adopted the process over the years that as a tropical is killed by cold weather we replace them with local cold hardy species only.
