Rhodochiton atrosanguineus
Could I get Rhodochiton atrosanguineus through the winter in a cold
greenhouse if I put it on the shelf over the staging with sand and heating cables? Several have grown quite well this year from seed (for once) and I wondered just how much cold it could take. -- Janet Tweedy |

If you have horticultural fleece then drape that over, it will hold the warmth from the cables in around the plants |

writes wondered just how much cold it could take. If you have horticultural fleece then drape that over, it will hold the warmth from the cables in around the plants Thanks to Charlie and Sacha as well but I will try then to get them through. Could cut them back so that there's less foliage to catch the damp. If I drape fleece over won't that hold in any moisture? I really should get a proper my deep staging but I have most of my cuttings actually in the sand (I find just shoved in works well for most stuff|) Don't want to get the tops too warm. I find a warm root and a cooler top seems to get the cuttings through winter better. It is only warmed to just about 55 - 58f -- Janet Tweedy |
