Well, the colder weather has arrived and the houseplants that thrived on the deck all spring, summer & early fall have been moved back inside.
Unfortunately when the plants are inside they don’t do so well. I’ve never had much of a green thumb, but the plants I have are special to me, and I am going to have to keep them alive thru the winter.
I have a golden pothos, that started out tiny. It was a 1998 Mothers Day gift from my kids. I no longer have the planter it came in, which was a double headed swan. The plant grew, and was separated and now is in two large pots.
I also have a Spider plant that my sister gave me a start to in 1998 as well. That start has now became two extra large pots, a medium and a small pot.
The peace lily that I received in 2001 seems to do well except in the winter months, and it stays indoors all year round.
And finally my corn plant, which also arrived in 2001. It has grown unbelievably, and will be needing to be separated soon.
Good news is winter won’t last forever! And there are so many resources out there for plant care, that I should be able to get the plants thru the winter with no problems.
A site I have found useful is http://www.plantcare.com/
