Hi list,
i have encounter a problem that most cper and plant lovers know, a
missing of space in my room! Since a good part of my cp are Sarracenia, i
tought i could try to put all of them, or at least most of them, outside for
winter (i live in Quebec, between Montreal and Qc on the north shore). Since
few species like S.leuco. and S.flava come from southern location and
hybrids, i fear that the cold outside who kill those species, inlikely the
S.purpurea, who are already there... I am thinking of building a kind of
cold frame from next winter, but i just tought an easy way to do such thing:
do placing all my plants under a picnic table, cover with a thick plastic
like the one they make car shelter, would be enough to protect them? I have
some space in the garage too, which protect plants from wind, and a little
from cold, but the temp do go under 0degC there too... Any idea on how to keep
these plants outside safely would be appreciated. Thanks a lot and happy new
year all!
Tom
