Will I kill my epies if I take them to Swanpool with me? Winter night temps get below zero. One day down the track I may get a hothouse but that won’t happen for a while I suspect.

Well I got mine from a cutting from Mum’s and she lives in Lithgow and they get snow and temps below zero every year. I assume it’s an epi.

Here’s a photo from earlier this year of Mum’s.

yes I have, but was wondering if it would still get too cold for them.

On the Epi Forums most of the members live in cold climates and they bring them inside over winter.
