Very nice, Gina Anne! How tall is your greenhouse? Is your Ae Ae planted in the ground or in a pot? How large of a pot? I hope I'm right behind you as far as pupping. Your collection is very nice and makes many of us jealous!

Harvey

I can't even describe how I feel looking at that greenhouse!!! I wondered the same thing about if you have plants in the ground or are they all in pots.

What an awesome plant. How tall is your greenhouse where it's touching the top? How old is it?

Please don't be jealous. I don't like to inspire that sort of "sinful" feeling (coming from Lilith, right? LOL) (No I mean it)

Everything in the greenhouse is planted in the ground with the exception of some hanging plants. The gable is 20 feet.

This is actually the same AeAe I got from SteveL, how many years ago now, Steve? It did this once before...grew to the top of the greenhouse, but I had it planted in a different location on the slope of the roof where the ceiling was only about 14-15 ft.

I decided to top it and move it outdoors, where it stayed out all of one winter. Then I brought it back in as a teensy plant and replanted it, and here it is again!

hersirsmiley,
I believe you are referring to my space-age green floral design plastic trashcan that I have inverted over my Wadsworth Step-controller air intake to protect it from water, LOL
