The temperatures in the garden have been getting into the mid-fifties recently. And it’s time to start bringing in the tender plants. The new three-tier plant rack with lights is all ready, and I’ll begin to ease the most tender in tonight.
At first, things will be a muddle, no organization. It’ll be a mix and match with everything together by proxy until I sort things out into a more stable arrangement.
Some plants are organized fairly strictly by type. I have a fair number of carnivorous plants that mingle as a group because it’s easier to help them thrive indoors that way. But others are more mix and match.
This year, with the new stand, it’ll take a bit longer to make a stable presentation. I’m trying for a balance between the needs of the plants and a desire to show them off. Generally, things settle in by early November. But in the meantime, I spend time shuffling things about.

Your kitties have no interest in these plants?
A convenient squirt bottle is known to terrorize a certain cat who might otherwise be interested. I won’t name names!
Keep an eye on the pitcher, it might snap at you or the kitties 🙂
Just like the plant in the movie….I think Sabrina can defend herself. The plants are still tiny, and I never hear cries of “Feed Me, Seymour!”
totally not jealous of such a gorgeous set up!
So beautiful, Thank you, Love, nia
The three tier rack is very impressive. Very healthy pitcher plants too.
That’s the old one. Next garden post will have a shot of the new one.
I may unfortunately miss that as I am a very unreliable reader at the moment.
I hope all is well wwith you, Tracy.
I’m a sucker for the Christmas cactus. I like the look of your little indoor garden oasis. I’m sure it lifts the soul during the long dark of Winter.
During the winter, I truly need the light and greenery.
