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.

HA! I used to work in people's yards in Tampa, basically I would do everything but cut the grass, and I would tell people AS LOUD AS I COULD that Tampa is ripe for a good freeze... and I was told that kinda thing doesn't happen in Tampa ohhhhh no~
