My autumn flame has such a hard time during the winter (warm but rainy here) 😭 This is the second time I've had to cut her down to the soil. She lives outside, on a covered window ledge. It rained nonstop last week, and the strong winds that were going on must have blown a lot of rain past the overhang. By the weekend she had this funky fungus (?) going on. I think next year I'll bring her indoors for the season 😔 Hope to see her thriving again soon...
