It's been interesting (sad) watching the effects of frostbite on my hoyas from our ice storm and subsequent power outage of a month ago. Some never missed a beat - lilke the carnosas, pubicalyx, obovata. Most interesting (to me) is that, with only one or two exceptions (graveolens being one I can remember), all my small rooting and rooted hoyas survived - and even continued to put out growth! (for example the ones I just had received from David Liddle in October) Still others, like this callistophylla, took a month to bite the dust.....(no worry, I just got a new one!)
Edited to say that these were the hoyas I had in my house - under blankets for four days as the temps ranged from, as best as I could tell, 32 - 38 degrees.
