Default Winterization

Most effective method.. :^)



This is my least favorite method.. I prefer Heat-taping my outdoor banana's since there is no bulbs to replace it just works. Wrapping the banana is basically same method with a much more reliable heater in a heat-tape.







An Namwah I wrapped up.. Now this was fun.. believe you me.. :^)



Unwrapped Feb 23rd last year and lost this stem to frost..



Of course it recovered nicely.. :^)



This is a DC after unwrapping in 2010, I had it wrapped in trash bags filled w/ straw and wrapped w/ a heat-tape.. This is my 1st and last DC flower (flowered in 10 months).. It rotted in place.
