Step #2, Making space. You may remember me saying that I don't have any houseplants. Well I have 2, a 15 year old Clivia and a pot with 4 Amaryllis that I've had for 25 years. Since moving here 4 years ago my Amaryllis, which used to bloom like clockwork, have never bloomed. I also have 2 pots with Pelargoniums that I brought inside 3 years ago. They bloom continuously inside so, I cut them back once or twice a year and they have never made it back outside again.

I think that the Geraniums will have to go down to my unheated basement. This rack, which will have to be emptied of the assorted rick rack, including mom's velvet fruit collection, have to hold a good number of the 18 plants that comprise my stash.
