I am going thru the same thing down here...when the nigh temps hit below 70, our potted jungle starts for fade outside.
But mine are not that big or lush as yours .
I am so impressed.

I'll probably have to split them again and give half away.

Wow, you sure have one huge green thumb! Your ferns are amazing and yes, huge as well as lovely.

Love the kitty!

I love what you're doing here.

That's our Manx, Jagger. Our cats are indoor only, so they love getting their jungle on in the 3 season room.

It's perfect for the plants and cats- both love the fireplace.

it would be too much for me to handle if I had plants all over the house, plus, they like being grouped together.

It is such a chore trying to find places with enough light for the houseplants that were enjoying the summer outside.

My husband told me if I got one more ficus tree he was moving. I cut almost three feet off the top of two of them so we could get them inside.

I split all my ferns into tiny pieces and gave them away this spring, so I only have a few small ones to move.

Your room looks very nice.

I told him we need one more spider plant like we need another hole in the head. STAHP

I would love to see your ficus, I bet they're gorgeous. I don't have one of those... hmm... I might could find a corner somewhere.

Thanks.

our Siamese will nibble on the spider plants, so I keep a heavy coating of bitter apple on them. They're indoor only cats, so it's a little taste of outside without all the dangers.

That's a lovely room. I just brought my house plants inside, and now I can't really use my (small) living room because it is now entirely dominated by an enormous saddle-leaf philodendron (about 5' high and equally wide) that I've had for more than 30 years, and a 6' tall ficus. The cats like to climb the ficus.
