Florida Freeze Damage 2026 — What My Garden Looks Like After the Cold

 



This is not my garden, but a Florida garden from someone I subscribe to on You Tube

Orlando, Florida USDA Growing Zone 10a

"The unprecedented cold finally passed through Florida, and today I’m showing the full aftermath in my garden. This is the follow up to last week’s “before the freeze” tour, and now you can see exactly what the frigid temperatures did to my plants. Some bounced back, some suffered heavy damage, and a few didn’t make it at all. In this video, I walk through the backyard and front yard to show the real freeze damage on tropicals, ornamentals, and cold sensitive plants. If you’re a Florida gardener or live in any warm climate that gets the occasional cold snap, this will give you a clear idea of what to expect after a hard freeze and how different plants respond."

Monstera Deliciosa Care: A Complete Guide

 


Photo source:  HereSheGrows.com

"When it comes to growing Monstera deliciosa, there’s just one prerequisite. Space. Big plants are like puppies and small children. They’re easy to accommodate when small but eventually they grow up. When you consider the seven-to-eight-foot height Monstera deliciosa aspires to indoors, you can see why some consideration should be given to where this thing is going to live. The kitchen counter won’t work for long. Aside from the space issue, the rest is gravy, which is code for easy and I love easy. The same cannot be said for puppies and small children so if you’re thinking about either, perhaps try your hand at a Monstera deliciosa first."  Comment from HereSheGrows.com

Beautiful plant!  I have grown it outdoors, but never indoors.  It is an easy plant to grow.  Mine grew really big.
