[Gilda]

Growing by leaps and bounds !!!!!:clap: Congrats..look forward to seeing your new growing area !

 

[Wendy]

An updated shot of my grow area. More plants on the way next month.

 

[Justin]

looking really good...but give them more water.

 

[troy]

Cut to the chase build a greenhouse in your back yard

 

[Wendy]

[Marco]

I like it. Much more robust and spacious than my set up. I simply have one of those black humidity trays you have on the left hand side.

 

[SlipperFan]

And there is room for more!

 

[Lanmark]

Nice collection!

 

[Wendy]

And there is room for more!

And there are more on the way.....:evil:

Good picks on the first two. Why is it that i feel that the undecided will likely be a yes? oke:

Nice! Sam has so much nice stuff. I can understand having trouble in deciding. So, don't decide.....just get it everything you want! :evil:

Wendy, is that big window facing east? I've seen some
rather amazing shelving that's made of either glass or some kind of transparent plastic (acrylic maybe) that can
be arranged in several different configurations. Anyway,
the shelves can be attached to the window frames and
appears very sturdy. The one I saw held an amazing number of plants. If you troll the net, I'll bet you could
make that window amazingly beautiful and get your plants off the floor. I think the pussycats would like it
too! ;>)

 

[Wendy]

Thanks Angela but it is south facing. That would be too much sun plus we don't want plants totally filling the window. It is our living room and we have those big drapes as well. Our house is fairly close to the road and we need to close them at night for privacy. I'm actually looking for another suitable table for behind the couch. But I do appreciate the suggestion.

 

[abax]

Ah well, just a thought when I saw the shelving in some
home decorating catalog or other. Transparent step
shelving is available too made of acrylic. Just tell me to
mind my own business. My house is mostly glass and I
had similar problems before building the gh.

Wendy, what is humidity like in your growing area during winter time when furnace works? I would like to have BS multies but space limit in tanks stops me at the moment (with dreams of a greenhouse when all my seedlings grow up). I wonder if they would be ok in the house, I have lots of large windows, but humidity drops to 25%-30% during winter. Do humidity trays help?

 

[Justin]

from my experience multi's can grow fine in a northern house in the winter. they can handle humidity down in the 20s and 30s for a few months. humidity trays will only make a negligible difference. i use a large humidifier near the plant area which can raise the humidity there to the 40s and 50s in they daytime.

would they prefer a hot humid greenhouse all year? sure. you would get better flowers and bigger plants i a greenhouse. but they will do ok in the house.

The humidity drops way down ~30% in the winter but it doesn't seem to bother them for only a few months. I wouldn't worry about it. As long as they are warm, bright and have good quality water they do just fine. The only drawback is with the longer petaled Paphs......the flowers don't last as long as the petal tips dry out faster with the low humidity. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things though. I don't bother with humidity trays....way over rated in a home environment.
