help with hibiscus

14 years ago

My husband is taking a hard line with my "trees" this year. We've been overwintering them in the kitchen for probably 10 years now and they've grown and they've grown. They are now taking over the kitchen and we are finding that we are claustrophobic by spring. It was so nice to get them outdoors this year!

Any ideas of where I can find some greenhouse space to over winter these? I have about 4 hibiscus and a large grapefruit tree. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll be looking for new homes by fall.

Do you have a basement? I have over wintered hibiscus under florescent shop lights in my cool basement laundry room.
