Charles, my Chinese fan is in the cold barely-heated building, about 50F.

The sunporch freezes?

They don't mind being crammed into a livingroom corner with all their leaves bunched up pointing at the ceiling and a sofa shoved up against them!

No, its just home to my Norfolk Island Pine, 5 citrus trees, several citrus seedlings, 2 jades, and 1 Christmas cactus (sounds like the lyrics to a song). Plus the tv, two chairs, a bookcase, and about a million of my kid's toys. So no room left at the inn.

I had it under lights in the basement, but near the furnace. And the dry air is damaging it. So I was wondering if it could just chill on the other side. Never goes below 50F.

What can I tell ya? Records, vintage audio, plants. My interests are taking over.

What kind of vintage audio? We have a lovely old victrola in mint condition with plenty of albums, boxes of them....Such a cool thing to listen to in the parlor when company is over.

vintage audio has nothing to do with palm trees ...... unless ....... you listen to the audio, sip a single malt scotch and look at your palm trees. tell me that's what you do. please. 😐

Why yes, that's it!

You're supposed to sip??? 😆

....... or chug or drink thru a straw. I say whatever it takes.

two queen palms and leans them against the sofa...
yes, I remember those pictures.
Don't think it was Kent (his wife would N E V E R let him do that, right Kent?) 😆 😆
It was somebody with a pool, the queens sat on each side of the pool stairs I think.

Mike...any pics of them?

BTW, is the PN site acting funny tonight? email notifications for NO message? etc. hmmm.
Probably all the snow on the antennas, or reindeer antlers 😀

UGH, I could only hope for an email notification even when I post/message...It still doesn;t work even though I did what you suggested Barb... :sad6:

I'll get some pics of the indoor palms/tropicals up soon

I think it was a single fellow in Illinois, but I can't remember his name. Fun photos, though. I had to show W, something along the lines of, it could get worse.
PN seems to be working for me. Maybe the site prefers warm temps! 😀

No way it was me. My wife might push my queen palm tree over on it side but never in a good way. and if she did push it over she would try to convince me she was just trying to lean it a certain way so it could get more sun. 😯

We are heading into christmas week, the days start getting longer after next Tuesday and my palm trees are settling in for a long winters stay in the house. Hope everyone has a safe Holiday and your family is good to you. 😆

Not sure why I use the emoticons, except that you all use them, so I figure why not? 😯 I like the "shock" one. Its how I look in real life most of the time. 😯

Kent in Kansas
where it's cold in winter (always)

now where'd I put that glass of egg nog? 8)

Kent, can you remember WHO it was (with the 2 leaning Queens)...palms, that is 😆

Otherwise Search comes up with 35,432 matches... 😯 (I like that one too!)

...egg nog :pukeright: (once on the lips, forever on the hips)

No I don't remember who it was but I do remember the pics. He had some great looking big palm trees inside his house.

This'll drive me crazy...
...short trip.
