manders Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Ive been reading that P. esseriana can tolerate frosts. Has anyone any experiences with Mexican pings and sub-zero temps. Where i live we rarely get anything below -1 or -2 and thats a few days per year, usually. I'm wondering if i should try a few outside (protected from the rain)...

ada Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I have a mexican ping from Stephen Morley,i've forgotten what it is but it did have very veiny leaves. Anyway its been out in the greenhouse without any heat what so ever for the past 3 years,winter and summer.I just keep it dry in winter. ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) I have some mexican pinguicula incl esseriana in my greenhouse. The greenhouse is kept frost-free. Sometimes there is a little bit of frost but only very short and not often. A few days ago my pots were frozen a little but they didn't mind. So it does work in my conditions, you could give it a try. Oh and I keep them also rather dry during winter.

Rob-Rah Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 caudata is fine under zero if dry in winter, but only tried this a few degrees by accident! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
