Plants and Flowers

Tropical plants are afraid of a cold wind very much. The first symptom is the darkened and ragged edges of leaves. The cold wind implies the lowered air humidity and faster water evaporation from leaves’ surface. At that roots of a plant have not time to supply leaves with water as the temperature falls and all processes are being slowed. In result leaves dry. Therefore it is very important to protect tropical plants from a wind. When you plan where to place plants in a garden, plant them so that they have been protected from a wind (by the house or other plants). Even the small difference of temperatures (in one - two degree) is vital.

Tropical plants are afraid of sharp change of temperature, even for several hours. If the temperature falls gradually they have time “to get used” (evaporation from leaves decreases, etc.).

If you expect cold front or are going to transport a plant, bring it to a warm place, or close a plant from a wind, having wrapped up it in a layer or, even better, in a light cloth - for example, in a bed-sheet. In this case the bed-sheet has advantage as it allows a plant to breathe. The plant can be held easy under a white bed-sheet within several days – there will be enough light, and it can be watered directly through a fabric.
