My Greenhouse

[BonnieLorraine]

I finally got the heating and cooling worked out in my greenhouse after a year of frustration, and two days ago was able to start moving plants in. This has proven to be an incredibly slow process, unfortunately I can't just move the pots from inside to outside if I want to have it work out like I had planned. I've started building moss poles for the aroids, mounting more of my ferns that have spent the past year miserable cramped inside tanks, and potting up plants that I started from cuttings. I've gone through three 3 cubic foot bags of perlite, and 3 giant bales of peat moss in the past two weeks to give you an idea of how much soil I've been having to make (though some of that was for the several hundred new broms I potted up for the new shade house). Anyway, here is progress as it stands so far, I also have part of my Gesneriad "section" finished, but want to wait until I have everything transplanted and moved in before I take pics of that area. Obviously the fern area isn't done yet either, have lots more to mount and move over, but here is what I got done today. I'll keep updating with new pictures as I get further along

Huperzia salvinioides and Huperzia squarrosa, along with lots of baby Huperzias on the top shelf waiting to be large enough to mount





Pleopeltis percuss, Ficus pumila minima, Ficus pumila 'Quercifolia' and Ficus Panama in hanging pots



Syngonium macrophyllum in a 5 gallon pot mounted to a 4' moss pole



Monstera siltepecana in a 1 gallon pot mounted to a 2' moss pole



From left to right, Epipremnum Cebu Blue in a 2 gallon pot, Anthurium polychistum in a 2 gallon pot, and the Syngonium

I'm so glad you have your problem worked out. All that hard work will be worth it in the end.

Bonnie,
This is just wonderful! Thank you so much for posting the update.
The begonias are spectacular.
We enjoy very similar plants.
Big exception though, I have zero memory for the botanical names

One is more beautiful than the other.
It's so organized !
