My shrimp plant has withered due to snow etc. Should I prune it. It stands at 3ft high but leaves look shrivelled. ?


On plant Justicia brandegeana

I'm not surprised! This plant will not take any temperatures lower than 7 degrees C. It's a conservatory plant - so if it's been outside in the cold weather, sorry - but it's an 'ex-shrimp plant'.
