I had some Bletillas in a pot on the porch that came back for one or two years, then croaked. Andy has some in the ground, and I'm sure it never gets down to freezing there. Mine were protected from rain, while his wouldn't have been. So I'm still at a loss as to what they need.
I find this really confusing. Fla. gets more freezes that we ever do, but Jim's plants are under the oak trees, so get some protection. We get down to 32 about once every 5 years, but only briefly. We haven't had enough to damage tropicals for about 7 or 8 years. Hmm, maybe that's when my Bletillas came back.
