My angel plant grew fast and tall this summer.
The came autumn and the change of weather.
From all that I've read, this plant can be left outside
(WA state Zone 8-9) during the winter... or it
should be brought in doors to keep the cold away.

I have this plant in a big pot and decided I didn't want to
risk the weather and so brought it into the house. Leaves
were dropping everywhere even though I had put it in a
place where it rec'd plenty of light and steady temperature.

Back outside it goes and the shedding stopped. Then the
freeze and now the plant looks ugh.

Will it grow back come Spring time? It's about 4 feet tall
so I don't want to lose it. It grew that much in one spring/
summer.

I do have the pot insulated.

Any experience out there when it comes to Angel Plants?

TIA

No idea about the angel plant (or even what one is) but did you really
have a freeze already in zone 8-9? Out here on the other side of the
country in zone 6 I haven't even been close to freezing yet and had
planned on putting off bringing in my tender plants until next month.

Dig it, I'm in z4 and for some reason haven't had a real frost yet. Only
last night did the last of my tropicals get brought inside, whereas a couple
years ago they all came in late September, shortly after which we got a
couple inches of snow.

What's an angel plant?

Some plants need to be properly acclimatized before bringing them in or
they'll certainly go to "heaven". (Rosemary comes to mind.) Abrupt
temperature & humidity changes can be shocking enough, but the light inside
a sunny southern window is still very inferior to even full shade outdoors.

AFA just looking sorry, if it's a plant that can take some frost could it
may just be its way of showing dormancy?
