    Seedling Repotting... When?

They're in the terrarium now, but their soil is starting to break down (algae/ bacteria) so I want to repot each into a final pot... Kinda inconvienient since winter is a terrible time to harden...

    Had the Harbor Freight Greenhouse Experience.... AND SURVIVED!

    Hi all. Wife decided my cacti had stabbed too many of the cats during winters past. Both seem to like to sit on bright windowsills..... so we had a problem. Needless to say, we saw a coupon to grab a 6'x8' Harbor Freight greenhouse at $200. I was at the store within 10 minutes of the newspaper...

    Getting Botrytis in my new hobby greenhouse--need air circulation tips

    Hi everyone! I just built one of the infamous harbor freight 6'x8' greenhouses. It's been great to have so far and I'm slowly stocking it full of cacti, succulents, Pings, and Drosera. It is heated to 40F and goes anywhere from 50-70F during the day. I check it twice a day and noticed that...

    LL truncata crosses in highland conditions?

    I just got some greenhouse space at work, so I've started to grow Nepenthes again after taking a break for the better part of the decade. A nursery I've gotten plants from before is offering two crosses I'm interested in growing, N. truncata x merrilliana "Caesar", and N. "thorellii" x (truncata...

    Nepenthes Grow Chamber and Lighting Advice

    I'm looking to set up fairly basic, low tech grow chamber for Nepenthes in my apartment. I have some highland neps growing in a greenhouse where I work, but low day temps and a short photoperiod is making their growth come to a screeching halt. I had originally planned to get a terrarium, but I...

    electricity in an indoor greenhouse

    Hi guys! I'm setting up an indoor greenhouse and was wondering how the grow lights will fare with the high humidity atmosphere inside the greenhouse. I am concerned about the electrical dangers as well as regular corrosion on the metal parts of the lights. Also, we don't keep that part of the...

    Only Moderately Temperate Sarrs: Your Thoughts

    So this is my first year--and first will be first winter--growing Sarracenia indigenous to the extreme southern portion of the genus's range. The plants I am thinking of in particular are of course S. psittacina, a few of its related hybrids, and S. rosea in addition to S. purpurea ssp. venosa...

    Carnivorous Plants that do not need a terrarium?

    Hi, Are there any pitcher plants or carnivorous plants that do not need a terrarium to grow? I would like to be able to grow something medium-large in size on a West-facing window sill. It is a large windowsill. or do they all need very high humidity that can only be given in a greenhouse or...

I bumped up the height of the greenhouse by making it's base out of 12" boards and dug it into the ground about a foot as well. Laid out some insulation...
