Same here Brad---everything got bundled inside due to nights in the 40's coming up....but they're predicting back up into the 80's by early next week, so the temptation is to move them BACK out for the last little bit of warmth and sunshine....on the other hand, I don't think I have the strength, and they may just have to stay in and adjust as best they can...sorry guys!

I'm at the other end of the scale, weather is warming up and plants are starting to grow. Nearly time to put them outside :D

My Hoyas that I have outside yet are all fine, and it's supposed to get chilly again tonight. Might have to bring in the rest of them tomorrow at some point since I have a busy weekend ahead of me.

Triffidmoss, I hope your Hoyas enjoy their outdoor vacation. Mine do much better out in the sunlight, fresh air, and the rain. I really need a greenhouse if I want them to look like this all year long..

I wish it would cool down! It was 84 degrees here last night at midnight. It's 74 right now. Won't see 50's at night until November at the earliest. The only Hoyas I'll really need to bring in if it gets cold are citrina, monetteae, pusilla, imperialis, coriacea, anulata, buotii, archboldiana. All the others should do fine. Some have seen the 40 degree temps & hated it (coriacea, imperialis, buotii,) but came back strong, even though I heard they wouldn't survive. I heard the same about monetteae, citrina, archboldiana, & anulata but they're newer, haven't seen the winter yet and I don't want to test them! :)

Brad, I'll keep my fingers crossed that Red Buttons holds onto the peduncles. There are affordable grow lights on amazon, while maybe not the best, but probably don't use much electricity and can keep your plants from sulking during the winter.

Good morning from chilly, windy central PA! I have to go bring in the rest of my plants. I wish I had the room to put up some grow lights. I live in a singlewide mobile home with my parents, and space is VERY limited. Most of my plants do fine in the winter in the windows and under skylights. I do like when it snows and the sun is out. It really gives the plants a boost. Thankfully, the walls are a cream color and they help with light, too.

I brought mine inside when expecting Irma's wind in SC. Didn't get much wind after all that work and like Shelley no energy to haul them back out although we're in mid 80'. I did however, take my adeniums and echeverias back out which were an easier haul and they withstand lower temps. I've had such a great growing season this year I shouldn't complain.

Mine have to be inside because it drops to minus 25 during the winter. I'm in the middle of fall and winter will be here soon. I hope my poor plants survive the move

Mine have all come in because after 10/1 all bets are off when it comes to cold/snow
(google october surprise storm or snovember for a example)

the ones who've been with me for a while are fine but some of my recent aquisitions are sulking still

I have most of mine inside now, My problem is that I forgot how many I have and now have to figure out where they are going to be inside :)

Some of mine are sulking Noel probably due to shorter days and not as much sunlight some of them can be such divas lol

As the days continue to be hot and humid here in central PA, some of mine have gone back outdoors not only to see if I can get them to bloom, but I discovered some aphids on them and have been spraying them (ugh-they're just about as bad as mealybugs, but I would rather have these than the mealies).

I did find a new peduncle on my fungii when I brought it in (it's one of the ones that has gone back outdoors).

No buds to report yet, but Red Buttons has a second tiny peduncle, pottsi "Chiang Mai" has a new vine, and I think there's a spot of new growth on shepherdii. The one I'm hoping to see new growth from soon is ilagiorum.

I did find the strength to move my guys back outside too Brad....I've got big fat buds on my mirabilis (as well as lots of smaller budded peduncles) and teeny tiny bloom spurs on several other hoyas....I don't have too much hope for the teeny tiny ones, but I'm totally sure (knock on wood) that I'll have mirabilis blooms in the next few days....which is excellent because I love everything about those flowers, including color, shape, size and scent :-)....It looks like things might start to cool off by next Monday, so I'm cheering everyone on and hoping they'll hurry....

Most of my hoyas are thriving. Although some of them are sulking due to less light and some are climbing over each other and growing like weeds lol. No peduncles I don't think. But most of them are thriving and happy. I also got a little pepperomia plant too.
