My indoor plants! This is a long one

 I have hundreds of plants, and most of them are tropical. Now that winter's here the plants are too... inside the house. I don't think a single room is spared and I wouldn't have it any other way! 

Hi From My bedroom. 


Medinilla magnifica



Triangle Palm & autograph tree peeking in


Kentia Palm, Cattleya Orchid, Kalanchoe villosa, anthurium


Ponytail palm, agaves, plumeria, spindle palm





Welcome to my Den! My Ficus tineke, Arenga Palm, and Coconut palm are in these photos. The coconut palm is struggling hard.




From the kitchen you can see the Flamethrower palm is center stage.


Bird of Paradise and Monstera sneaking in here.

It's late November, here's a look at the garden!

I finally got around to digging up my Musa Sikkimensis, it's the last banana to go inside. We haven't had a frost or freeze yet this season, but we have a cold weekend ahead. Saturday November 30, will be the first freeze of the season and we have several hard freezes in the forecast. 

Still getting Zucchini Rampicante. Amazing year for these squash!

Time to bring the Alphina Ginger inside

Melianthus major -  Honeybush


At my parent's house on Saturday


I cannot believe I am getting swollen buds on my Camellia japonicas already! Spring Promise bloomed in January last year, but this year it's officially opening up in November. Absolutely wild! 


Sabal minor and volunteer Yucca recurvifolia at my parents on Staten Island



Fatsia Japonica are having a banner year for blooms!



My giant Cordyline Pink Diamonds! They were tiny plants from Home Depot just a few years ago. A very easy cultivar to keep alive indoors.
