Hi,
Thanks for the comments. The greenhouse is 2.6x2x2m or 8x6x6feet.
The "hanging moss" is actually not moss and just called spanish moss, the real name is Tillandsia usneoides and it's a relative of the pineapple we all love I hang it just because I think it looks nice and I've got lots of it for free from a nursery nearby...

tillandsia... That's the genus of "Airplants" so is that actually alive? I agree the pots have a very positive appearance. Nice greenhouse.

yup, it is alive and growing, they get the water they need from humidity and food from the dust in the air.. I think CPs can learn a thing or two from them...

That's really incredible. I find it so fascinating that a plant can get food and water from dust and humidity...

How fast do they grow?

fast is not the right word here
they grow really slow...
