Just Hung a Nep

[TheFury]

I just picked up a pair of cedar hanging baskets and stuck my N. ventricosa in it. I mounted some cast iron plant hangers to the side of an Ikea bookcase so they can hang in front of the window. The plant gets a good number of hours of full sun right now; in the summer that will change to dappled sunlight once the trees regrow some leaves.

The second box is empty right now because I'm waiting for a N. mirabilis basal to throw down some roots - once it does I'll pot it up and give Mr. ventricosa a neighbor.

I can't seem to find those baskets anywhere.

Holy moley. XD

I meant locally, sorry, haha.
I'll probably have to resort to the internets though. Thanks Thez!

Thanks all! Yeah, I looked everywhere for these things at my local Home Depots and Lowes. Turns out they're "online only" products at HomeDepot.com. But they're good and cheap!

Just added a N. x Deroose alata to the mix!

That's neat looking!

Thanks! I just hope that once the trees outside grow some more foliage they don't start to block too much sunlight. I know these Neps can handle partial sun, but dappled/shady sun might bee too little! ... right?
