N. edwardsiana AW is growing very fast


N. jamban from seed


N. adnata x muluensis

Wow! Amazing plants! It will be interesting to see if there is a lot of difference between the attenboroughii seedlings.

 

[mylesG]

nice plants! you sure have some rare/sought after species. Best of luck, not that they seem to need it

 

[UnstuckinTime]

That's some spectacular moss!


Oh, yeah, nice vascular plants too, hahaha

 

[n bicalcarata]

[n bicalcarata]

how many atenboroughiis do you have

Can't believe this hasn't been asked yet. But.. can we get some specs?
What kind of lighting, humidity, day/night temps are you getting?

 

[GrowinOld]

Your Plants (ie. Villosa/Eddy/Ham) seem to love it down there!
I have a few basement garden areas, and you can't beat the temps available there for certain plants.
You seem to be doing great, greenhouse or not, you have adjusted well!
Congrats!

I love the setup! What I wouldn't do for some U. humboldtii...Just not right now though :/

thanks for the comments.
Mass, i have no idea what the temperates and humidity is. i never check it and i dont have equipment for this. If i would check it i would be worried, i stopped doing this in my time in sweden because i had it always very cold there.

In the first setup i have one 400w HPS lamp and the second setup have a 90w LED. this thing work awesome and i want to change the hps out for more led soon.

no stressing over temps and humidity with perfect conditions as a result. Now here's a guy that has it all figured out.. I envy you. And your plants.

Can I ask what media you grow your quelchii in? Looks just like a peat/perlite mix??

 

[nepaholic]

Hi Brie
i grow quelchii in a couple different medias and this species is not very hard to grow.
On the pictures you see quelchii growing in peat/perlite/foam mix...

cheers
Jens

WOW, your pictures are amazing!

You have a collection most people would die for. You chamber is great and I'm glad it is working for you. I think I am going to change my mind about a greenhouse and go with a chamber. Hopefully I will have similar results.
Thanks for sharing. The best growing is worry free growing. You have mastered this on so many different levels.
