Re: [Aroid-l] greenhouse questions

From: Bonaventure W Magrys <magrysbo at shu.edu> on 2004.10.04 at 17:37:48(12249) I'm very much interested. Please tell us pitfalls and pluses you encounter. What to make sure you get, what to watch out for. After decades (I started out as a kid) of growing orchids under lights, I went from miniatures to the point of my eyes being larger than my growing space as well as my wallet, and now that I have tropical, chill-hating aroids, the make-shift cold frames and cold back room or basement suitable for the Brugmansia cuttings, Hedychium and frost-induced dormancy Amorphophallus dugups among other things are no longer sufficient. (What the hell am I going to do with 2 Balsa tree saplings grown from seed in my garden?)

(Sorry Wilbert but that's what my thermometer says, Fahrenheit.) My plants are in the neighbor's garage (long story) for another week until the greenhouse is finished. (I hope it's just a week.
