Cold Hardy Tropical Plants – Effects of Cold Temperatures on Plant Growth
Question: When winter rolls around this question starts coming in.“It got cold last night and I forgot my usually hardy tropical plant – Ficus or Dracaena – sat outside in the cold temperatures. Now the leaves have turned brown and are starting to fall off. Is the plant dead? Can it be saved?”Answer: Plants drop leaves for a reason, it could be seasonal, protection, stress or it’s flat out dying.
