I have a beloved Yucca Elephantipes that used to belong to my favorite uncle who passed a few years ago, so the plant means a lot to me. He’s grown pretty tall and bushy over the years and is too big and heavy to move inside but right now in central Texas we’ve got a cold snap with below freezing temps for multiple days! 🥶 I’m so worried about him I’ve wrapped his pot in two blankets, put a frost cover over him, then set up a pop up greenhouse tent over him. I strung some old school Christmas lights in there because they give off heat and managed to convince my husband to let me put his new heater in there. lol! He won’t let me keep the heater on over night for safety purposes and I totally understand but I’m just hoping all of this is enough to keep him from dying. Without the heater it will get to about 20 degrees in there overnight. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
