Windowsill growing.

My basjoos, in the ground, get covered up for the winter. The basjoos that were in pots, outside, are stored, bare-root, in garbage bags, in a room that gets to about 50° F. Everything else is kept growing, either under lights in a warm cellar, or on windowsills.
Here's a Dwarf Cavendishgrowing happily in the dining room bay window.

Shortly after bringing it in, it gave me two nice little pups.

Yipee! I have a bunch of these - Especially this time of year!

All of my African violets are in the bay window!

All of my seedlings are in the bay window too:

Re: Windowsill growing.

Every plant looks happy in their winter home. My banana plants are bare root in rubber maid bins in a corner of the garage in front of a window. I keep dry compost over the roots to keep things from drying out too much.

Re: Windowsill growing.

I fill up the bay window for the winter, and the floor in front of it. :ha:

I am still adding plants everyday to it also!

Re: Windowsill growing.

Thank you! My rooms kind of all have themes, I guess. This one is called the stuffed animal room! HA! HA! And of course I have horses in ALL the rooms. I will try to take a shot of it tonight when I get all the lights on. All those little bananas seem to love it in there. Each one has put out one and sometimes two leaves since I brought them in there early last week. ~J

My cats would have the ones on the floor shredded by now.

Re: Windowsill growing.

Lucky you glad its working!

I have been keeping all of mine in my warm basement (65f or so) near a casement window with 2 overhead 2 foot fluorescent grow lights on long timers and Mine are really fading fast... I am thinking it might be too warm for them with not enough light. I certainly cant afford to run a 400w hps during the day all winter.

Re: Windowsill growing.

What do you do when your window is overrun with plants and your bird thinks he's in a jungle?! :ha:

Re: Windowsill growing.

Here's my Siam Ruby plant, growing in my south window. It's suprisingly red for this time of year...
