So the temps have dipped a bit here in Florida and I think I might have lost one of my chocolate habs what do you guys think? At night we got down to low 40s and high 30s. I managed to bring them into my garage, nut I am not sure if that was enough .

Here is another photo of my other chocolate hab I pruned back just to make sure I saved it

I think it'll make it, you've got nothing to lose by waiting to find out.

Those plants will be fine. I've got some chocolate habs in my detached garage that are in high 30's constantly.

OK this is good to hear. Is there anything else I need to do to make sure they survive?

Roger that! Maybe due to the stress the pods will end up hotter?

It keeps the roots from rotting and mold and mildew from forming, as well.
