Winter Home for Adeniums

The Philadelphia Inquirer's garden section said it was time to "bring all house plants indoors," which I've already done (except for a tall jade bonsai that doesn't fit under any lights, am still trying to find a place for it). Here are some pix of my indoor setup for about 50 assorted adenium plants & seedlings. Main grow center is a two-tiered T-12 grow stand in my utility room, plus a repurposed Ikea kitchen cart fitted out w/a tabletop T-5 unit on the top shelf with a strip fluorescent fixture tacked to the underside for the rest of the bunch:aloes, jades, spider plants & a few cacti. I am rapidly running out of room, so next year will have to figure out a better & larger configuration, maybe commandeer part of our family room for the green family members. I also got some new toys - LED lamps - a mini gooseneck 7 W lamp and a 25 W light bulb and clip-on socket that I hope to use on fresh sowings in the spring. Am still getting used to the weird red and blue lights - it looks like the Twilight Zone in our library.
