Indoor windowsill and outdoor shadecloth set-up
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2014 6:55 am
During cold days, and at night during the winter months, I maintain my small growing Arrojadoa & Discocactus in 2" (x 3" deep) and 2¾" square plastic pots indoors on a south facing windowsill. On sunny winter days when the temperature rises to around 70°F (which happens quite frequently in southern Arizona) they go outside on the patio under 30% shade cloth, coming inside as the temperature drops at nightfall. With the arrival of spring - when the daytime temperature climbs into the 80s and the nighttime temperatures are in the 50s - they stay outside until the arrival once again of winter temperatures.
