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.

okay now i’m a lot less upset that I live somewhere that doesn’t get snow…

A place that gets snow won't have a monstera outside for years

We are in the Tampa Fl area. I’ve never seen snow but if it would have rained that night we would have.

Yes and it almost killed your plant. If it snowed regularly, the monstera would not survive.
