Nice collection! I'm catching up to you though ; ) I really admire your citrus dedication to winter over that many trees inside! (I'm assuming inside from your zone) I don't think I'd have the patience to move that many in and out each year. But we all tend to push the limits of our zone don't we, lol! I've got several orchids that should be indoors growing in the shade of the patio, they've done well, and have tried stephanotis outdoors for three years so far, without success, : ( But that's why we are gardeners, right? Pushing the envelope, lol! I've got 20 citrus in pots, 5 in the ground. I'd love for all to be in the ground but I have a nasty gopher population. Still trying to figure out how to get the rest in the ground but protected. I'm not fully confident in cage baskets, they seem to rust out too soon. Your trees look great! Good job!

Alocasia are tough to over water (mine actually lives in water) and once a week might not be often enough, especially if it's hot. Without seeing more pictures it's really hard to tell what's going on but it does sound like you're plants are potentially thirsty. You definitely need to water by soil feel rather than on a schedule. Also, move closer to a window, all of these plants are going to need the brightest light possible but no prolonged sunlight touching the leaves. Filtered light isn't enough.

Thank you, Debra and for the corrections too. All American Chef is doing really well and I like it so much (you know me and red). Barbara Mandrell put out a pretty one and I caught this one so I could post it. It had actually bloomed a perfect couple before but they opened late and I missed photographing them. Maryl, every other Reimer I have bought has bloomed first year and I didn't expect much but all others have been quite pretty so I waited to see and it surprised me with how pretty and bright it is. I am very excited about Canary Flush, as its first bloom was perfect and I do like it. Thank you Brad. Purple Pathways was a surprise, in that it is much prettier than I expected; I saw a photo and thought it looked insipid, but no, it is not a bit that. Thank you Kate, I hope Purple Pathways is a increases well. The plant always looked good but no blooms until now. Indigo Edge was always a pretty one and it almost always has perfect blooms. I hope it stays happy where it is and keeps blooming well. kay

You will need to compromise regarding your flooring selection. There is no one size fits all. Wood, LVP, LVT provides more comfort but will fail when flooded. Tile and micro/cement floors less comfort but can withstand a flood. If, you can't compromise, leave it bare. Insurance has to account for depreciation for flooring. You will need to cover the difference if, you don't want a cheap floor.
