Hi John and all,
I don't think your D. capensis will die. Even it's a tropical plant, D.
capensis is very strong en many CP-lovers know that it's very difficult
to kill a capensis. Slightly frost won't harm the plants. D. capensis
will come back in the spring by their roots. For D alliciae and D.
binata it's just the same.
Greetings,
Wouter Noordeloos
