Thank you, Pam. If you had a very long pothos or other vine you probably had a
sunroom.
I have a pit bull sized dog cage in my dining room with a four foot long fluorescent
light fixture in it. In 2011 I acquired a Maine Coon mix cat that loves to munch houseplants. With delight, he sampled a bunch that were brought in for the winter, but then threw
up in his dinner dish...he needed a vet visit and then my sister checking in on him while
I was at work. So some houseplants were removed from the collection, and all but
two of the largest houseplants are now squeezed into the dog cage.
The Christmas cactus are just fine. They have a two-pot system where water drains through
the plant pot into a decorative ceramic pot below. They bloomed soon after being brought
in for winter - beautiful! The Kalanchoe have moldy spots on them [[ugh) and did not bloom.
Given that they were not overwatered, the low light level played a part in this. I mix a tiny
bit of Miracle-Gro For Roses in the plant water every time - about what would fit on one tine
of a fork in about half gallon of lukewarm water.
