I planted a dozen Aloinopsis rubrolineata outside in the fall, so of course it was the coldest January in 15 years with majority of nights below -1C (30F) and an extreme low temperature of nearly -15C (6F). They look okay and I'm curious if they will bloom this spring.

    I grew them from seed in this batch I shared last year: [https://www.reddit.com/r/mesembs/comments/1briv8b/aloinopsis_rubrolineata_seedlings_split_up_and/](https://www.reddit.com/r/mesembs/comments/1briv8b/aloinopsis_rubrolineata_seedlings_split_up_and/)

    They were covered with an old bed sheet on the coldest night only. They are next to a row of Pleiospilus [https://www.reddit.com/r/mesembs/comments/1gohq01/survived_their_first_snowstorm_in_new_mexico/](https://www.reddit.com/r/mesembs/comments/1gohq01/survived_their_first_snowstorm_in_new_mexico/) and I will share an update on them in the next month. They look so-so and I think some of the smaller ones are dead.

    Aloinopsis typically flower in the autumn under normal conditions. As long as it’s kept dry and away from the wind, these plants can survive a mild freeze without much issue. I’ve been lucky never to have to test their hardiness down to -15º, but i commend your effort!
