Exotic Gardening with Rare and Strange Plants

Every November when my garden finally gives up to the winter cold my indoor garden suddenly triples in size. Like most plant hoarders every window sill ends up covered in plants, utilizing every square inch of possible growing space for those tender tropicals and much needed house plants. Thank god I have such understanding roommates, what with the small plant lab taking over a corner of the living room, timed 12 hour grow light included. The winter is also a great time to try your hand at growing plants from seed and cuttings. These projects require a certain amount of patience, trial and error and plain and simple luck.  Here’s a snapshot of my “plant lab” as it slowly takes over my living room.
