Default Re: Procrastination

I've got a couple very large plants, that to fit in the house, I trim the leaves down to 1/2 size first, and if still too big, I cut the p-stem down to about 3 ft. and let it start over with new leaves.

I have a black bird of paradise that is getting too large also, but the way the leaves hang, it should still be OK with my 10 ft. ceilings.

The rest of my plants go to the basement where I have lights set up and water the plants enough to keep them green and get them through the winter. Of which I've done very little of yet. Supposed to get down to 34 degrees tonight, but then 40s the rest of the week, so I'm slowly moving the less hardy plants in and storing them in my back porch which holds the temps about 10 degrees above what it is outside at night. Of course during the day if there is sun it gets plenty warm with the fiberglass panels that cover the screens for the winter.
