linuxman Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 "Frosts" are said to be good for coloration. I presume the leaves die off now and they re-sprout in the spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCurrell Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 "Frosts" are said to be good for coloration. If this is the case then these are gonna be super dark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petesredtraps Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'll let my plants take the "Frosts" but if a sustained freeze comes as predicted, then, in they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephalotus Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Well... I noticed it some time ago, that cold temperatures enhance the existing colour and small frosts do that the best. Cephalotus can survive easily occasional frosts from -5 to -7°C without any harm. But I do not give my plants such frosts, usually around -2/-3°C. That6 is totally enough to make the colouration maximal in my growing conditions. But the phenomenon you can see it not just a frost. It is a combination of fog and frost. Firstly, there was a fog, which means high air humidity and low, but positive temperatures. During the night the frost came and all the air humidity had to crystallise somewhere. It is called white frost if I translate it correctly. Your plants won't look the same if you just give them frost. What I caught with my camera does not occur that often and simple frost.

TCurrell Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 That's cool, we call it freezing fog over in the UK. A sign winter is well on it's way :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
