Cerus Forbesii spiralis -low temperature survivor

Post by Ernie »

I got this last year from the the son of Terry Edney(RIP) There was three in a large pot. One I slung out and potted up the two half decent plants into fresh gritty well drained compost and big long tom clay pots because of the size of the roots. Both have been in my greenhouse all winter kept dry. Minimum temperature recorded 4.7 degrees. Average around 6.
Both plants are no worse than they were when I got them. I read these don't like low temperatures however my plants don't seem to have minded.
(The other is still in the greenhouse)
