Outside plants come indoors

Cheers to Debby H for letting us know that she’s now brought in most of the tender plants from her garden what with the weather starting to get a lot colder now. In the above picture, on the left are all of the tender plants from outside and on the right, a view of the rack with house plants on it. As Debby said “Most people use stools to eat at their breakfast bar. We have given our stools over to the larger plants!” Brilliant!
The outside plants in more detail, nearest to the camera the canna lilly, an orange tree, two lemon trees and the two strelitzias furthest away.

Above are the two strelitzias, which she said are not that overly keen on direct sunlight when outdoors, “Strangely they like being outside, but they don’t like full sun. We have to keep them in the shade or the leaves go brown and crispy.” The actual plants were grown from seed as well and we do love the moveable circular platforms that the pots are standing on. It’s a great idea for moving plants around to follow the sun. Our mate in Berlin, Phil Harmony uses the same method with all his plants on a platform so he can wheel them about his patio.

(Above) “This shows the orchid and cactus with the plant rack behind them. Again, the orchid must be kept out of full sunshine.”
“It’s a bit cramped but we have managed to squeeze everything in.” she noted. We think the plants will thank you with lots of growth and flowers next year for keeping them in the warmth Debby, they will! Great stuff and thanks for sending us the pictures!
