Spring cleaning in my sunroom

Category: Gardening 2011 | Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 1:08 am

The time had come, I was ready to do some spring cleaning in my full-of-houseplants sunroom. There was barely room to walk in there, something had to be done.
I dilligently monitered the overnight low temperatures, and I "pulled the trigger" last weekend.
Two huge Fig trees: out you go!
A Schefflera: out the door!
Several Ivy and Spider plants: get outta here!
Four big old Sanseveria: collecting dust and taking up room, get out!
The Purple Heart with it's companion Wandering Jew, take a summer vacation!
Hey! I can see the floor in my sunroom! I can see the walls!
The weather was not too cold, and not too hot, just right, and we even had some nice rain showers so they all got a good bath. I like my deck all full of greenery. It's a good natural screen.
So, then what did my sister just give me?
A lubbersii Calathea. I like it and of course found a spot for it... in my sunroom.

Did you feel the twinge of regret Kay? It has to be done sometimes.

Nope! So far, all the plants seem to be happy. I figure it's "sink or swim" for them...but if they don't thrive outdoors this season, they can't come back in.
