ORLANDO Fla. — With temperatures continuing to fall into Monday morning, homeowners are trying to protect their plants and vegetation.

Walk around with Edna Kane and she’s happy to show you their cold weather damage.

“Absolutely melted. This was coleus. When we touched this this morning it shattered like glass," said Kane.

Kane takes this cold snap serious. It’s important business where she works. She helps operate Central Florida’s largest nursery, Lucas Nursery, and winter weather means protecting everything they own.

Aside from covering up plants, Kane says there are a few things to remember as a homeowner during cold weather.

She says to not water plants. It’s kind of an old myth to water during winter weather. It will only end up damaging the vegetation.

Another important tip, if you see wilted leaves, don’t prune them now. Cutting them during the cold will only help kill them. Wait until it warms up again.

Kane admits there is a silver lining to cold weather, "Usually if we have a cold winter for me, it means I’m going to have a great butterfly season in the spring.”

Lucas Nursery is home to hundreds of butterflys, this habitat is specially designed to keep them warm during the cold snap.

The colorful creatures, though do slow down when temperatures fall.  “A butterfly has to achieve a 80-degree body temperature just to keep flight,” said Kane.

Most were not flying around the indoor garden, so they do feel the temperature change. Management will checks on them in the middle of the night.

For Kane and staff, it’s another Florida freeze they know this nursery can survive.  She also the vegetation may experience shock but will recover by spring.
