HoosierGreen and plantladylin,
Thanks for responding to my questions. I temporarily packed up all my indoor plant books when I re-carpeted the porch and I haven't found the box they're in so your suggestions are very important. I can look up all the suggestions online. There are very few places in the house other then the porch that are suitable for plants so I try to choose carefully. Besides , I think half the fun in getting a new plant is investigating all the new possibilities and learning about new plants.

HoosierGreen,

You think I should go larger on the Norfolk Island Pine pot? I would have to switch to plastic or fiberglass in that case because of the size and weight.
I am considering getting another NIP since it could make it feel like a forest but I wouldn't mind something similar but just a little different.

plantladylin,
That is one very large sheffelara tree. I don't remember trying that plant.

I have another largish plant that seems to live happily on the porch in the winter but is now in decline. The new leaves are smaller and the edges of some are yellow. Is it a Monstera? The stems? have such a nice palm tree look, but they also are getting narrower as they grow. Do you think I must repot this plant also or just feed it?
