Thank you! I don't think of mini plants in regard to their potential overall size, just about the size of the foliage. If I can trim it to keep it diminutive, I'll put it in a mini garden.
Like this Ficus benjamina. I trim and prune it often. If left to its' own devices, it would be MUCH taller and totally out of proportion, though in general, proportion is totally abused in my mini gardens. There is also Kalanchoe blossfeldiana in there, which I also snip often to keep it small. And Sedeveria which get too tall. The only thing that doesn't need at least an occasional trim is the Lithops.
My question was about winter hardiness.
