Aristolochia gigantea
I have a plant of Aristolochia gigantea in a 12"pot, it's now very vigourous
and needs more space. I am thinking of moving it into a bigger pot in my (relatively) unheated conservatory which is in Bristol in the SW uk, frost are rare here, I wonder how the plant will get on? I hear conflicting evidence that Aristolochia gigantea is ok to 28F (slightly sub zero). I grow many cacti in an unheated greenhouse and so this may be possible. The conservatory is North facing on a single storey extension and is shaded by external bamboo blinds to make it tolerable in the summer otherwise it is simply too hot. What are your thoughts on this?
