Hi All,
I've actually read the posts on this with interest. I have a lot of tropicals
that have to come during the winter months here in E. TN. Although I could put
some of them here, there and the next place in front of windows, then have to
run all over the house watering, actually the best place I've found was to
surround my garden tub with them.
It's like a jungle in there. The bathroom is huge and I seldom use that tub
anyway, so it was a perfect spot for them and they love the humidity from the
shower. Which is separate from the tub. There's also a skylight and I also have
grow lights. They made it through perfectly well last year. It sure cut down on
the amount of running around I have to do taking care of them. I have 3 areas in
the house where I keep plants and then a couple on the window sill over the sink
in the kitchen. I just counted and after downsizing greatly when I moved here to
this house, I still have 35 plants and trees in the house before bringing the
tropical trees in.
The rest of the hardy trees stay out under the deck, which sits off the ground
high enough that even hubby can walk safely around under there. It's like an
outdoor room and is surrounded by lattice work. It has a regular size door on
it. It was perfect last year. The sun still came through the slats, the trees
were protected from wind, still got rained on through the slats and made it
through fine.


Take Care,
Kathy
