A Peek Inside The Greenhouse

These red ceramic pots/soil/bulbs were a steal at 2.99 at an after Christmas sale. More Paperwhites and another Hippeastrum (Amaryllis.) The Amaryllis got a different pot as these don't have drainage holes.


The great advantage of having paperwhites in the gently heated greenhouse is that they bloom for a lot longer than they would inside. These have been blooming for a month now.  The drawback is that the fragrance isn't as strong in the cooler environment.

Next year I'll do a better job of segregating plants by their water needs. but It's kind of fun to have them a bit mixed up.
The plants seem pretty happy and I've seen only one little group of spider mites on a brugmansia that quickly got sprayed with water followed up with neem oil later in the week; they seem to be gone.  This is such a fun way to store tender plants for the winter - much easier than having them stowed all over the house!  How are your indoor/outdoor plants doing?
