I could bring them into the house, but I learned not to mingle the new gals with the healthy old gals. So i better not. My living room which is the only room with heat (remember, 100+ year old house) would cook the moisture right out of my AV's. We only have a wood stove. Hard to controll heat.

In fact I only have two plants in the liv. room. Die hards. I had a nice spider baby on the mantel but I looked at it today and it's a gonner. AND I just watered it a few days ago. Oh well, plenty more where it came from.

My kitchen is a shoe box. Can't hardly cook dinner let alone put plants in there. So that's not an option. Next best place is my bedroom (I think you saw my new AV set up but in case you didn't here's a photo)

That's all the rooms we have. It is a TINY house.

I think I'll just put in another space heater until the new unit gets installed. I can't wait until we build our new home. someday...
I'm hoping for a 'florida room' or conservatory type room... until then, I get the 'playhouse'... which I do love despite the temperature extremes.
