Now that it's getting warmer 😯 😯
Too much work getting it all in there, so there they stay.

The only thing in the house is the Cocos nucifera, and it brought fungus gnats with it... 👿

Yeah, that occurred to me too, Tim...summer went too fast.
The water is turned off (waterline isn't insulated in that building), so the buckets of water get plants through until spring.
brought in your Strelitzia. Mine is still outside c
That's a gorgeous BoP, Andy...wow.
Looking forward to seeing blooms.
standard french lavender . How old is it?
A gift from H this year. Hope it survives winter indoors; seems a lot more delicate than the lavender I have growing outdoors year round.
fried another Jade last night
If there was a roof over it, it'll probably survive Jim.
Murphy's Law here: as soon as plants go indoors, weather gets mild again and, finally, we're getting lots of rain.

Looks great! Hey Barb I don't know if you remember that Giant ten foot Strelizia I had outback in a pot that died a few years back??? I finally this year was able to grow a new one from the little that remained and it is now about a foot tall. WooHoo

Yes I do recall that huge one; so sad when it croaked.
Excellent that you've got a pup from it.
I was thrilled when my BoP bloomed for the first time last winter.
Had been labelled as a white Strelitzia...turned out it was the blue/orange color I had wanted. :toothy7:
Take care of that pup... "winter indoors" 😕
😆
