Thank you for sharing Tony! As a fully indoor grower, I'm curious if there are plants that are hardy in cold climates (e.g. zones 3a, 3b, etc.) that would not survive in a warmer climate (Zones 10+)? Or can one assume that as long as the temperatures don't dip below the MIN threshold you can grow a plant in any of the warmer zones?

Hi Jess;

 

We put together the first such list in 2005, and have updated it in 2023.  It doesn’t include everything, but hope you find it worthwhile.

Hi all,

 

Wondering if anyone can point me to any resources online, or maybe you have a doc you can share, on hardiness zones for aroids?

 

I have many that are happier outside, but I don’t want to lose them over the winter & am struggling to find anything definitive—perhaps such a thing is too much to put together given the size of the family. 

 

The genera I am interested in moving out are primarily monstera, philodendron, Epipremnum, thaumatophyllum, amorphophallus, alocasia, colocasia. Even just philodendron would be great as that is the genus I have the most of that want to be out of this AC.

 

I’m in 8b, this year reclassified to 9a, southeast GA about 40 miles from the coast as the crow flies. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, but if I dare ask too much, totally understand!

 

Thank you!

Jess
