LOL, unless I put it in the freezer it won't have to deal with cold temperatures Hilarious! There are zones higher than 11, I think I found them when I was comparing my location to someone in the wet tropics, places where it rains year around. Most of the info on gardening in these zones is not in English for obvious reasons. The ones in Chinese or other Asian languages are off the table for me, there are some from Australia and India that are in English. I do follow some garden forums in Spanish but unless I need precise info it is easier to just read and chat in my native language. I'm lazy and I can scan through ATP in a few minutes but it would take more concentration to read through the slang and abbreviations in a spanish forum, plus many of those are from colder climates as well, Spain, Argentina, Chile are all areas that have lots of garden forums but their weather is similar to parts of the US and not much help to me.

I think the main thing I've discovered about this plant is that I can't let it dry out and that where I have it in full sun all afternoon might be too much for it during the dry season. I'll have to watch it and maybe move it to less sun when it's not getting daily rains.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
