Default Re: Thousand finger hardiness vs others

My monkey fingers, thousand fingers, Golden Rhinohorn, ice cream died out on me two winters ago. I left them in pots, outside, the trunks died back to the potting media level and never came back to life. The same conditions, Misi Luki, Manzano, California gold, Dwarf Orinoco, Dwarf Brazilian, Raja Puri and Dwarf Namwah did not die to the soil level and all their trunks remained green throughout the winter.

Perhaps, there were some diseases that could have affected my monkey fingers, thousand fingers and Golden Rhinohorn. Of course it was a non-scientific trial. I might try them again.
