Thanks Hector! Making room for another nana coming soon! =) It never amazes me how disorganized and well..dirty the overwinter room becomes. But after all the shuffling, rotating, moving of plants aroumd., watering, misting..etc...it is no wonder. I thougjt I had 15 or so plants, more nearing 40...amazing how that happens! Do I need any more..no! Will I get more...Absolutely!

Gary,
Are you taking the kids out for a walk?


Those plants look good for so late in the season.

There is a park right across the street..just a rocks throw away.....I know the adults are asking themselves..what the heck is this guy doing with all those trees...while im thinking whats with all those kids..J/k. The small ones are really taking off..i repotted a few last weekend I have more to go..but all are pushing new leaves regurarly now, and are ready to get big. Many I had to trim back on the larger ones so I can walk around the room wout tripping. My big mamwah is in there too..ready and wanng to bust out. Gonna take some biweekly pics of the smaller ones to compare growth rates

Im sure my plants were looking out their window thankful they were not out in the single digit artic blast last few days. The plants are hoping to be out soon.

Your plants look fantastic GMichael! Congratulations!

Very nice collection. I'm inspired to do more with potted plants and minimal indoor lighting for next winter.

I was wondering why take them outside for a few hours? Was it for bug spraying or sun exposure? I used to drag plants outside from my garage on cool sunny days but I stopped doing it since I wasn't able to see a return on my time investment in taking the plants outside.

Thank you Akula! Geissene, I try to have them outside every chance I can throughout winter/spring when weather permits. Over the course of Winter those hours add up and seem really beneficial to the plants. I really dont have to acclimate much when ready to stay out for good again. When they do go outside for those extra hours I can always see some growth or a pup emerge and pushing through. Although they do "good" over wintered indoors with "ok" light, you can tell they perk up and are happier with the real sun.

Woohoo!.....The banana gang is out!.....Looking awesome Gary!......

The pallets will be my frame for piling in and on a lot of mulch. I intend to try to save all of the pup pstems as well and then separate them in the Spring
