You can learn a lot that way....
But if you want to avoid it....
Just remember to buy another plant before you cut the other!
If you research well enough, you could find a mix of Tropicals and outdoor stuff to meet all your itches!
And if we can't innovate you some winter protection in your space....I'll eat an entire yew branch.
The training pots I made, I was going to wrap them with 1/2in thick pipe insulation, the clean black rubberish stuff. And I'm fully confident I wouldn't have lost any, even in last year's winter.
Of course they had to go elsewhere now..
But if you stick with local material....
You shouldn't have to do much more than cover em a bit. And I think balcony railings are made to attach wind blocks. What other purpose could they possibly serve?
