Hail storm

[little Nices]

What a coincidence!
Now I got a damage from squrriels, then hailstorm! Worst of all, the hailstorm came right after it rained for a while. All I can hope is that they recover, since I grow all my CP outside- exposed- include tropical CPs. Did anyone's CP got damaged from hailstorm before? I just want to know what to do for them, especially pings and droseras...

'round here we call that sleet. Hail is when it's at least the size of peas, LOL....Though a bad hail it can be like grapes (not common).

we had grape sized hail

Had a similar thing happen here recently...I was running for the tarp to cover my outdoor CPs real fast!!!

hail is very rare in my area....

grape sized? the fun stuff is golfball size, generally get one or three storms a year in the area with that. its not a hailstorm until its busting out windows

anything less is just an annoyance

I had hail hit my Sarracenia before. Just bounced off, but a real strong wind is what will really knock any CP down and cause damage.

The first time I stuck the tank of Sarra's out this year, a hail storm, and unfortunately it did not bounce off, but cut the leaves off like a saw.
Sunday, I put the tank out again and pulled my lower back. I then proceded to lay on the heating pad too long and got second-degree burns.
Darn Sarracenia...

Cheers,

Joe
