marty Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Throughout the last summer i germinated and grew from S.A.B. some syrian rue, HBWR, calea ,and Hops which all like dry warm conditions. I live south of Adelaide and as it has got colder over the last few weeks, all of these precious plants have started turning brown and look like they are going to die. Im sure its because of the cold, but whats a quick and easy way to save them from this! do i need a small hothouse or something? I just cant stand to watch them shrivel away.Is there an easy way to post pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trixxy3 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Last winter my Calea was just a bunch of dead twigs till spring, when it re-shot again. And this was out in the open weather through frosts and rains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trixxy3 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 A good call on average minimum to maximum temperatures would be 5-12 degrees, but there hasn't been many cloudy nights. To post a photo you either need to have the photo posted on your own personal image site and link to it from there, or upload it to the link posted up a few posts.
