Maybe not in California but we drop down into the 40s and lower by the 1st of October, So need to get things into green house before they get hit by cold

harveyc · 09-09-2009, 12:54 AM

We have our cold areas also, I'm just glad I'm not in one of them. I've got 100+ fingers of nanners I want to have the chance to grow up still.

Potted up my basjoo that was outside yesterday. Weather guys were calling for frost. I was going to try heavy mulching/heating cables and overwintering it outside but when I was poking around the base of the plant to check things out, I found 2 pups just starting to break through the soil.

So into the pot it went and under the grow lights for 18 hours. I plan on keeping it (and my backup indoor basjoo) indoors during the winter and planting outside next spring if all goes well. When I potted up my plant last year, all the leaves quickly went droopy and me, panicking cut them off to try saving the plant - no luck. It died.

The one I repotted hasn't got droopy leaves so far.... well, not like the one last year. Unfortunately, I don't have a cold room, garage or somewhere they could go dormant. The only room I have that gets sun during the winter is on the top level of my townhouse which also gets fairly warm. (Which also means they need even more light ;-)

It's a real balancing act, since I hear you're not supposed to water them much during the winter, but yesterday the backup plant was looking very droopy. Sprayed his leaves and gave him a good drink and today it's looking better.

If either of them start looking like they won't make it, I'll be cutting leaves and putting them in a dark closet on the ground floor (about 65F). May not be cold enough for dormancy but will give it a shot.

Meanwhile, my extra bathroom looks like it'll be doubling as a greenhouse this winter. Got a humidifier and grow lights on the go in there for days where they don't get any/much sun near the window.

May 2010 can't come soon enough!

xmoose · 10-14-2009, 11:03 AM

Potted up a coffee plant, a Thai Black, and a Siam Ruby this morning.
I just LOVE playing with my nanner....

Great view. Whats in bottles behind them?

sunfish · 10-16-2009, 01:17 PM

Thats just water to hold heat for the greenhouse.

djmb74 · 10-16-2009, 01:20 PM

Good idea, I was talking to my dad about recycling an old pool solar heating system to use as a way to keep a greenhouse nice and warm.
