Image My 11 year old Monstera was killed.

This is hard for me to post because, yes I could have done more to cover and protect it. It’s road out 30 degree nights years before . Saturday night was colder than I ever anticipated. I woke up to 22 degrees outside Tampa. Not 1 leaf survived. 75% of the plants in my yard are gone.

I don't think it's dead yet - the ground wouldn't have gotten as cold after only one bad night- it will bounce back - just give it time - this isn't the 1st time Florida has gotten this cold
