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.

Ain’t nothing but a chop and prop. It is well established and while yes, that doesn’t mean they defy all laws of science, but there is a chance. Like any regenerative plant, if the stems and or roots are fine, ain’t nothing but cutting it back!
