Thank God I am not the only person who moves out essentials to put the tropicals inside for the winter months. I have a greenhouse but I keep my cuttings and some of my more "fussy" plants since I can keep the humidity up in their easier than I can in the sun room.
I started to propagate gardenias and jasmine, christmas cactus and a few others as a hobby a few years ago. When I get too many, I sell them on DG and eBay as starter plants. I have had so much fun over the years adding to my experiments that it has kept me young at my old age of 82. This is the first year I have had to use the sun/bird room for the larger gardenia stock plants. I just do not have space for two 5 and 6 ft. gardenia trees.
They are the Gardenia Jasminoid Aimee and what a pleasure they are to have. I also have two large camellias inside this year, along with a few dozen others I want to start to take cuttings from. Thank you for letting me pop in and say hello to my fellow tropical plant lovers here in the cooler climates. Have a great Winter.
Here is a pic of my one Aimee stock plants. JB
