I really need to get my houseplants brought in soon, though--pushing my luck, as usual!<br /><br />Like another commenter, I've never had any luck bringing garden rosemary into the house for the winter. (Oh, I see you recommend misting it.) I've also never seen it bloom. The cardinal basil is lovely as well.<br /><br />I've also already been thinking about what I'll be able to post on the next bloom day! My Christmas cactus has lots of fat buds, so maybe it will still be nice in a month! (Though it's still outside too, and now I'm worried it will drop all those buds when I bring it in :( Maybe next year, I should just leave it in the house!)Kimberleyhttp://cosmosandcleome.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-12744776456773963262011-10-16T10:31:48.596-04:002011-10-16T10:31:48.596-04:00Hi, even if we have a very wide range of temperatu...Hi, even if we have a very wide range of temperature differences, we also have those impatiens and gladiolus.

JGH, my husband has overwintered our rosemary for years. The secret is to mist the plants. Don't keep the soil wet, though. Plenty of light (we use grow lights) but in a cool place. We've also been successful in taking cuttings, root in water - just in case you lose the mother plant.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-83560022555070552512011-10-15T18:29:14.558-04:002011-10-15T18:29:14.558-04:00Thank you, Carolina HeartStrings and Nell Jean.

Nell Jean, I do take cuttings and grow impatiens on my windowsill in the winter - and yes, they bloom for me, too. They root very easily in water. I have three cuttings right now in a little vase and I'll take more soon.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-78326965062409923602011-10-15T17:36:30.310-04:002011-10-15T17:36:30.310-04:00You might take some cuttings of those pretty impat...You might take some cuttings of those pretty impatiens to put near a bright window.

How cool is it getting at night. Mine usually last through Thanksgiving. I have hanging baskets in red. That way if they're still around when I Christmas decorate they still work in the color scheme... seriously.Carolina HeartStringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292841944812910360noreply@blogger.com
