You have some really nice plants. My herbs such as pepper, allspice, bay, perennial basil, neem and anthuriums grow well but I can't get the hang of growing citrus. Have you gotten figs off your tree yet? I see your growing...a grapefruit tree?? It looks-like to me, I wish I could do that. I put everything outside for the warmer months. It always amazes me after a summer outside how much more room I need for the plants over the winter. My husband takes a few of my larger trees to his office and places them around the different windows. I stopped growing brugmansia because it goes semi-dormant after flowering. Most of my plants go to sunny windows of which I have only a few. We moved a few years ago, so my outside garden is 10 times larger but my house does not have good light for tropical plants. I have a collections of begonia, sanseviria, and cactus plants.
