      Lol ... it's still hot and dry here to Gary . My plants are getting tired of it just like me.

      Do you have any skeeter trouble with the troughs ?

      Here is a few itty bitties that will probably not survive going dormant for me. So a friend showed me how he does this. I have mine under the same lights I use on my african violets. the parents set on the floor beside the racks all winter under these lights. so lets see what goes. There are some nice plants here.

      Well its time too put my beauties down for a winters nap. There are a few in the house hopefully they can go dormant next summer and hopefully they make it through the winter. that small trail is how I take the dogs out 15 times a day. barely have room too get in and out of the hot tub too. there are few in the house that are new also. Yes the one pic is a Varigated Alocasia Portadora I hope I can keep it all winter.

      Looks good in there .. Gary. Your variegated ones are looking great.

      I moved one of my alocasia into my back room just yesterday . I dug it up because I wanted to move it this spring ,

      I got two big porta outside still growing good , that I want to try and winter outside .
      I put some stakes around them yesterday, im thinking about cutting the leaves off just leaving the trunk and wrapping plastic around the stakes and filling the void with leaves for the winter ....

      Its hardy too zone 8 you might want too go ahead and dig it up shake the dirt off and store it dry just in case. with a heavy mulch it might make it. I am not sure I have never grown it in the ground.

      I got about 4 Mickey Mouse starts in a pot for next year .

      I guess it might be a good idea to dig up one and just see if the other makes it through the winter

      Thanks Gary ...

      I am ready for Spring too. I cut back on containers last year and it does make a difference. Gave me more time to take better care of my plants.
      I brought in several of my Taro, but I left some outside in my stream. The stream is dry unless it rains. The roots of the Taro run under rocks so I am hoping some may have overwintered.

      I am so looking forward too getting all the plants back outside. They seem too be all alive though some looking pretty bad. Probably a good 60 days before they get too go out though. I sure hope they can hold on.
