Moving More Tropical Plants Indoors - Unexpected Extremes
Channel: Tropical Plant Party
Date: 2019-11-09

The original plan I had in mind for my growspace this week was to get the houseplants and tropical plants organized and arranged in a manner that would maximize space and allow for the rest of the plants to come indoors, then to add some more lighting. Oh, and to cut down and mulch my hardy bananas & hardy gingers.  I have a lot of plants which are considered tropical plants but are more cold hardy and normally stay outside for a several weeks longer than my true tropical plants. The weather said it might dip down to 20F but then the extended forecast started saying in a few days(after this vlog) it might go down to 13F! ... That has since changed to 17F but still, anything below 25F is risky for potted semi-tropical plants. With all of that in mind, I switched gears and started moving the rest of the houseplants and tropical plants. This means, cutting back my curcuma gingers, cleaning up my succulent planters, laying the queen palms on the ground in a warm spot in the garden and working with some herbs and veggies I want to use for an indoor herb garden this winter. I talked about my Mediterranean fan palm and what I will do with it indoors, how I plan my indoor garden and grow-space and some life updates. I did go ahead and get my hardy bananas and gingers cut down and mulched also. The basil I cut back did respond well and most of the foliage has bounced back and the pepper is still pushing out it's lower growth from the stem. Early in the week I found out that an old friend of mine had passed, it was unexpected and because of this I did not film for a few days to allow myself time to process and go through the motions. His name was Rob and he was the most kind and pure-hearted person I have ever known. In all of the years we worked together I never heard Rob speak negatively about anyone, and he was always there for everyone around him if they needed anything. I don't think I have known a person as empathetic as he was and Rob I feel blessed to have someone like him as a role model when I was younger. Rob exemplified the kind of mark I want to leave on this world, be kind to one another, help each other and lead with love. Via con dios dear friend!
