Drastic times call for drastic measures!!!! National Weather Service is predicting a freeze for my area tonite (34°F to be exact with wind chills down to 27°F). Here are some of the steps crazy plant people do to save there prized specimens.
Garcinia intermedia with a couple of layers the pole helps keep the covers off the leaves works for small trees!
Garcinia livingstonei with a large nursery pot with a series of layers nice for a small bush.
Cyrtostachys renda with a garbage can and a series of layers works for a medium sized bush .
Orchids, aroids etc. in the garage it dropped down to 60°F last night in here. It is tolerable for these species.
Garcinia intermedia, Garcinia madrono, Glycosmis trifoliata and Artocarpus heterophyllus being spoiled inside the house, with the humans and cats, a balmy 70°F
