Re: Arizona - advice!

Arizona - advice!

Re: First year overwintering Euphorbia in GH

i'm in the same boat. Would it be best to move some of the more delicate plants inside - without much light? I have a small heater set up in the greenhouse already...trying to keep it above 10 degrees. And not thinking about the electrcity bill... :???:

Re: Moving house - moving plants!

thanks again chaps!

i think we'll be moving over a couple of days at least. i may transport the non-plant stuff (including 15,000 records!) first and then bring the plants over later.

Re: Moving house - moving plants!

If you're not going far and assuming you've either friends or family nearby, could you not foster your more awkward plants out in preparation for moving?

Re: Moving house - moving plants!

thanks everyone. i'm not looking forward to the whole moving process... and i'm not that reassured to be honest! we'll be doing it on our own and we're not actually moving that far.
