i had a philodendrum that was outside and we had a freeze. i couldnt get to it cause i had to go to school, but i saw it on the way out. ive always heard and i quote," if your plant freezes use cool water to rinse it off so it dosent cause tissue damage- cell damage, what ever you want to call it when it thaws and to remove it out of the sun. doing this will increase the healing rate of the plant." i have never dumped cool or cold water on my plants( it could throw them into shock. i know id go into shock!) i also found out first hand (my own plant) that if it was left outside after a freeze and it thawed in the sun, it would turn the plant to mush. it did. i have not left a plant outside after sept.7 since. i dont know if this happens to "tender plants" and or house plants.so this is based on what happened to my plant and the tragic death of a beautiful 5 yr. old plant.
