Fab plant Howee, do you just protect the crown and will the unprotected leaves die off ? Dee..

Im not sure, im learning as i go along! Ive been told youre supposed to place the leaves over the crown but i cant bring myself to do it yet. Had our first frost last night, and its looking a bit limp so i may have to bite the bullet

I cover mine with fallen leaves, straw, and eventually it's on leaves. Ive had it for two years now and it thrives. Yours looks smart against the mirror wall.
