Bring on winter, my trees ain't scared!

[Drifter 851]

I never can just sit still, seems there's always some project going on, it keeps me happy though.The last few nights of mid 40's here in SE Michigan have had me getting worried so did some work today to get my tropical bonsai trees set up for winter. The past few years I have just been sitting them on a shelf under a small light, but my tropical collection has tripled over the summer and I needed to upgrade the overwinter set up for them now.

So spent the day building an 8ft long bench for them, bought some new twin tube lights and daylight bulbs, Also have the set up behind one of my 75g aquariums which has on open air canopy, that way they are not in danger of being bumped into, plus the 75 gallons of 80F heated water 3ft in front of the trees should help keep the humidity up for them this year.

Some pics of the new setup as well as a few of the tropicals, mostly Fukien teas, Bougainvilleas, and ficus.
