Orinocos are extremely cold hardy. I had blankets covering the pseudo stem a couple of nights ago when it dropped below 20 and it appears that they suffered little damage if any at all. The others that I left unprotected survived when it got down to just above 20 degrees but bit the dust on a night about a month ago when it got down to about 15. Note that I am only talking about the pseudo stem, not the corm.
