Looking good. I need to do some trimming on mine. I usually leave them until the winter when I'm bored.

The thought of bringing things in is so depressing.

Indeed. This morning, it was almost uncomfortably cool

Dude.....you aint lyin! My damn forecast lied again....showed me a low of 51f last night, woke up to see 45f.....no bueno.

No bueno indeed.
The forecast here claims 39f for Saturday, and the plant room isn’t set up yet - it turns into a catch-all during the warm months. So it looks like I’m doing the shuffle on such days until it’s ready.

the plant room isn’t set up yet

I've been searching for another plant stand to house my increasing collection. I figured I had a few weeks yet. Last year it was close to the middle of October before they were forced in by the weather. I'm holding out as long as I can.

I'm biting the bullet and doing it today if i can.....i refuse to do the 2 step anymore and I also dont want to take any chances.

Last year the weather forecasters were wrong as usual and we had some dips into the 40's. It didn't hurt anything, but my trees are up close to the house, so that may have helped.

Little guy got a hair cut tonight.....may repot too, its draining slow.

 

[just.wing.it]

Cut back. Top layer of substrate removed.....I'm happy.....

I think that little waist above the nebari is improving.....I think....
