survive? it wasn’t alive at that time. it was dormant. pretty much all living things have a hardiness rating when it comes to survival at temps/duration.

Obviamente no tenia suficiente luz pero es impresionante que sobreviviera, diria que la dejen en tierra a ver si se desarrolla

I’m up in Canada and I found a prickly pear cactus pad that must have broken off the mother plant (I bring out my potted cacti in summers) to survive a pretty brutal winter. I picked it up yesterday and cut off a bad part and it was green inside. I cut off the other black bits and potted it up- that thing deserves a chance after surviving 6 months of darkness, slush, snow and ice.
It’s a Baby Rita, so It’s definitely not billed as a cold hardy cactus.
Meanwhile I can’t keep a cast iron plant alive, outside or in. Plants are trolls.

they thrive on neglect, it feeds their life force
