this is what my A. Robustas at work are doing.Growing back after a night in the mid 20's f for at least 6 hours.These things HATE low temps in the 40's let alone 20's! But they are growing back now. all of my EE's are growing back now.I am amazed.

It's a strong looking plant! I found many plants were able to take frosts to -5C (23F) for short periods if under cover when they are not supposed to tolerate frost. Even those outside in sheltered places did well this winter, it was a strangely hot summer, mild autumn and winter. I even have a banana in the ground shooting!
My Alocasias are pushing up too, in the greenhouse, it has been warmer than usual. It's spring and they want to grow!
That's great news for you. I'm glad they are coming back.
Looking good.
