wow Mark I would like to see some photos of that terrarium!!!! Is it, like, a whole dedicated room? It sounds really cool.
I played the overwintering game for many years with large growing heliconia, etlingera elatior, really big clumping calathea, and other large growing tropical gingers (Costus stenophyllus, Costus "Kiss of Death", etc). I am getting too elderly now to move those 30-35 gallon containers, or to unpot them and divide the clumps. I planted everything into the greenhouse, grew them all for a bit, then pared down my collection to the ones I "really" wanted to keep!
