Hi all..... Im really starting to worry about my CP's as they are still outdoors and our greenhouse will still need a couple of weeks to complete. Im starting to think my CP's may not survive as the nights are very wet and i may get run off desease and other fungal infections. Are there any ways i can improve my CP's chances until i can get the greenhouse finished? Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris,
I wouldn't worry. My new greenhouse has been delayed and is now going up in a few weeks times. As I have started to convert my combined Neps/Sarr house to Neps only, all my Sarr/VFT etc are out on the lawn in their water trays! :D
I am certain that they will come to no harm till they go under glass again. And in the past I have had Sarr & VFT out all winter as well.

cheers

Out in the fresh air fungal disease is unlikely to be a problem. The temperatures are not yet cold enough to be a problem either, it will probably be nearer December/ January before you will need to worry about that, so your plants should be ok for a few weeks.  :)

Some can survive outside all year eg VFT, D Binata etc but watch out for slugs as they are on the move in force with the wetter cooler days/nights
