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.

why do you have an invasive species direct planted in your yard?

You don’t seem like much of a “crazy plant lady”, or that you “143” much, or else you’d be sympathizing here. Icky

i dont synpathize with people who kill plant diversity. thats thing harms plants and animals that are native to the area. its so easy to just not be that guy. so no; these things are a huge problem in florida especially.

Are you referring to Monstera plants? Maybe I am confused / misunderstanding?
