Lee Chamberlain Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Im very concerned about my Vft’s. These last few days in The Netherlands the temperatures have stayed under 0. A few days averaging around minus 7. My pots are all frozen and look dries out on the top. They were standing in water a few mm high. Should i bring all my plants indoors and let them thaw, currently in my small green house that is heated and at 0 degrees. Usually before this big freeze temperatures were constant around 5 degrees. I have wrapped ground sheeting around the greenhouse. Advise please please . I wont be able to sleep tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Don't bring them in to thaw. They'll turn to mush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates666 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 They should be fine, mineeoutside in the uk and go under 0C with the weather conditions and are fine, it’s the desiccating wind that does more damage. cheers steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
