greenhouse

My fellow growers, I am thinking of getting a small greenhouse to house a small part of my collection. This is not be a tropical greenhouse. It will house some of my prized sarrs, cephs, sundews and whatnot. Tropical plants will come back indoors for the winter. I am hoping to keep the climate...

These little chaps think it's time to grow. They were sown in September from the freshly ripened pods and kept in an unheated greenhouse. Germination started ( or rather was noticed) in December. The medium is peat and granite grit. Oh and this is just s small section of the tray. I may need...

Hey all... My wife said I can turn our 3 season porch into a greenhouse. It has sliding glass doors on 3 sides and a wood framed roof. I would remove the roof leaving only the framing, install Polycarbonate on the roof joist. Add fans and a furnace. It has a concrete floor but I think I would...

Hello everyone ! I think some of you may already know me from the CPUK foum where i've been a member now for almost 2 years, but for those of you who don't.... I got into carnivorous plants quite by accident when i went to collect some free plant pots offered in an advert, and i also came away...

Time for my first official giveaway! I have received many great plants from the generous community here. Finally I have something I feel is worth offering back. I have a nice little cutting of N x "lady pauline". There are 3 active growth points and a decent little root system started...

I don't post often in this section, but I have something that I could use help in ID'ing. I found this guy running through my greenhouse inside a few days ago, ridiculously quick mover and I only managed to catch him after he ran into the space inside a cardboard box. I squished him because I...

With all that's in the realm of possibility, how do you grow your plants? Terrarium, greenhouse, bog garden, windowsill? Here's a link showing all my setups: https://www.behance.net/natehollis

I am confused with my water quality in my area. I grow both orchids and nepenthes in my greenhouse so I got my water report for my area from my local water authority. The report says that a) Turbidity = 0.22 NTU, b) pH = 7.91, c) Chlorine Residual = 0.91 mg/L (ppm), d) Hardness = 33 mg/L or...

I'm going to be setting up a small greenhouse in my house in a few months for some highland Nepenthes. But, I have a few questions regarding how I'm going to set it up. Here's a link to the greenhouse I'm going to purchase...

I don't have a greenhouse yet, but I am planning on getting one. Does anyone know of any inexpensive pets (such as tarantulas) that don't require extra lighting which are suitable for rainforest greenhouses?

Hi All I need some advice please - I have some seedlings in a terrarium which id like to move into the greenhouse. what should I be considering or keeping in mind with the move? They are growing in sealed bags so the humidity is very high - but I would keep them in the bags in the GH. im...

I have recently began collecting carnivorous plants. So far, I have a pinguicula 'tempa', a N. 'Bloody 'Mary' (with loads of basals), two N. sanguineas and two N. ventratas. I also have loads of Spanish moss and am trying to get a greenhouse. Does anyone have any advice on tropical greenhouses...

Obviously my main green thumb points toward growing CP's, but along with them are a few assorted other plants that grow in the greenhouse and around the home. A few succulents are included, such as the following cactus seedlings, which currently live right next to sundews and young Nepenthes...

I'm slowly selling my entire plant collection and I have like... a lot of plants that are massive vines. Is it even plausible to ship a 3ft vine? If so, how can it be done and how much does it usually cost to ship such a large, over-sized package? Obviously I'm not talking like a ventrata the...

Well I decided to start on my 10x12 harbor freight GH. Been simple so far except for the usual no holes where there should be holes and overall fragility of the thing. [br][br]I will be making this into a tank...reinforcing with wood. I'm also going to connect my 6x8 to the front of it and make...

I have access to a large amount of a Brake Fern, Pteris multifida, and I'm offering divisions free of charge to interested participating members of the community who are located in USDA zone 6 or lower. The stuff is growing all over one of our greenhouses, in cracks in the blocks, and even in...

It's been a while since I've grown CPs, being in college and all, but I scored a single room next year and I'd like to get back into the hobby at a reasonable scale by germinating a few things (we'll see how long the "reasonable scale" thing lasts). I'm looking for seeds from the following...
