You know, I lived in California for years and I could do whatever I wanted with plants any time, and now I live in the Northeast and I find myself thinking, maybe I should buy an episcia before the frost sets in and they can’t mail plants any more.

I used to live in a subtropical warm humid city. Usually, pothos would destroy the paint rooting to the dry wall. Gorgeous foliage was the norm. There we just called them ‘indoor plants’. It was here, in Zone 6, that I realized they all are tropical plants. It was a shock (for me and the plants).
