>> Koppen Zone is Mediterranean. Winters on the dry side?
No, summers are quite dry and mild, right where I live. Sunny and dry, unlike all the rest of the year.
Winters are rainy and it gets above freezing rather often. Fall and spring are also rainy, meaning many drizzly days and almost always overcast. Frequent, light, short rain is more common than heavy rain or all-day-rain. I guess we don't have all that many INCHES of rain per year, but we do have 8 months when the sun is a rare sight.
>> Like many Aroids I've observed it's the cold/wet combination that creates problems.
Cold and wet, I've got lots of. That's why I'm thinking of putting a plastic hoop or lean-to over the bed - to shed rain to one side so the bed won't be cold and soggy for 8 months.
I would worry about over-heating on sunny days, if we had many! But I'll probably leave a flap open and only close it for cold spells.
Now watch! This will be a winter with weeks at a time below freezing, and inches of snow!
