Cactus Cup Caps ~

We're still getting warnings about freezing temperatures. These homeowners have topped their cactus with styrofoam cups to prevent frost damage. I have never heard of this method - anyone have an opinion? Whatever works, I guess!

  1. They do it at Tohono Chul Park so it must work.

  2. Styrofoam is mostly encapsulated air so it makes a very good insulator. Just like those styro coolers we see everywhere.
