Here in Oklahoma, I have noticed that almost all my tropicals look the best at about 80/85F. We are having a very unusual year for temps and rain, and its been in the 80s (In August wow!) and everything is all nice and green now, and my basjoo finally started looking good. It makes me wonder what the normal temps are in the tropics. Its kinda strange to me that we might be hotter than some of the tropics lol, of course only in the summer. But we do get very humid here, about the 90 percent range is normal in summer. This really is a harsh place to live, the native plants are sure adaptable. Hot and humid in the summer up to 105F+(Humid, unless we are in a drought), freezing in the winter down to -5F, and unpredictable weather constantly. The 4 feet of rain, and cool temps this year has been interesting indeed. Anyone that lives in the tropics, what are your usual warmest temps?
