Here’s a photo update on all my indoor plants. They’re all starting to grow now that the temperatures have started to stay in the 50s - 70s!
Check out how much the gloxina has grown since last time! It really greened up as well. The spiderplants in the 4th row were just a bunch of roots I put in dirt from when I fixed up the mega spider plant. There are plants shooting out of them left and right!!

The weather is finally starting to warm up!! I brought some of them out now, the rest I haven’t decided if I am going to keep inside or put them all in the patio. It gets really hot in the summer and they stop growing. What to do, what to do…

The plants are doing great this winter! I moved the violets to the front room where it gets more sunshine and it really paid off! Look at all those blooms!
I also cut off a long stem that had lost many of its leaves from the plant I can’t identify. I put the part with leaves in water, and the stem just for kicks I stuck in the dirt. I went to look today and found new leaves sprouting from the stem!!! SO COOL!!!!
My calathea is also continuing to bloom like crazy!

Not much goes on during the winter. Here are a few pictures of some plants that are worth looking at!
A violet blooming in my bedroom, mom’s bamboo palm that often gets overlooked in the kitchen, my calathea beginning to bloom, and my Schefflera and Poinsettia enjoying some sunshine despite the cold outside.

So far so good. The plants look like they’re adapting to their indoor locations pretty well. The violets love the sunny north windows.
I also have a few spider plants and pothos rooting in water as you can see in the top right picture.

The *last* set of photos from 11/3/2012 - the day I moved all the plants inside for the winter. This set includes Violets I’ve propagated from leaves and division, pothos, aloe, peace lily, bamboo palm and a green schefflera.

Here’s a quick look at more of my plants before they were moved inside for the winter! They all look pretty healthy! I hope they survive being inside all winter.

It’s starting to get colder outside during the nights. Today I’m photographing all my plants and moving the ones in the patio inside! Now just to figure out where I’m going to put them all!
The violets are looking happy to get to stay inside all year! I can’t figure out why they bloom for a while and then turn really yellow. I’m not changing anything with light or water or temperature. I have noticed they go through cycles and how much their leaves fill out the pot. Maybe they just aren’t getting the right kind of sun. Right now they’re in the south window.

Today I had a violet intervention! One pot had violets that weren’t doing so well and didn’t bloom all summer! I don’t really need them either I have so many violets. I decided to split them up and let them grow over the winter. This summer I’m going to donate them all to the plant booth at my church’s festival. Look at how many I ended up getting from one pot!!
