Compo 10,328 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 This is what northerners think of freezing weather. Here's me on the night of my 65th the other week, high in the Arctic in an outdoor jaccuzi! We're dead tough! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BeestonMick 263 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 These liberties don't like the cold. I had a load of money plants in pots and left all but one outside last winter. You wouldn't expect a South African succulent to last a British winter, they got covered in snow as well, but all of them did and thrived through the summer. I have plants I still can't get to grow properly in the UK so how can these little devils do it? It does get chilly in parts of SA but not to our standards. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
