Peggy: Great job on creating your tropical pool! Wow!
Keonikale: You have the bug worse that I do...so far. I'm gaining on you. Nice lights! Are they expensive?
Last year I had an unheated greenhouse that's just one of those shelving units with a zip cover.
This year, I had a half dozen plants that are too big for that, so now I've expanded to the garage. Anything that can't fit in the house is out there now. My BOP fit nicely in a sunny corner of the bedroom last winter. Now I can't get it in the door. :)
My monstera is hidden behind it in the pic.

Peggy: If you have a monstera that has put out roots a few inches above the soil level, you can also take a cutting there, trim the roots back to a couple of inches, and pot 'em up.
