This room has a south-facing window. It is not used so the heat is turned off. The temperature is usually in the 50s on cold days. Some of the heat is solar, some due to adjacent hallway. The
Clivia miniata (lower right corner) are in their "2 months without water" phase.
Here is the Royal Horticultural Society info on clivia culture (most of the other websites use the common name which I read is quite offensive). The banana and gingers are watered a little each week, about 2 cups of water each. Lower left, a citrus from seed and Meyer lemon, also minimal watering. Other plants with the same treatment include the
Epiphyllum oxypetalum,
Brazilopuntia,
Aloe vera, scented geranium, and small
Brugmansia.
Overwintering using the "warm sunny" method. In the home office windowsill, also south facing but warmer (usually 60s to 70s depending on the sun) are some additional cacti, a
Hippaestrum that finished blooming, some
Schlumbergera, and additional succulants.
