My Window Setup

In the back, on the second pic....

Are those the jambans?? O_O

Yeah I finally split them up and now they're in four pots ready to grow bigger now I hope.

I love your space and plants. gives me hope at the idea of a cost efficient setup.

I consider it an honor that you actually like my plants! It definitely is cheap, I only spend money on my distilled water gallons which has been maybe $30 a year or something. The downside is that I can't control the humidity well so my plants sometimes struggle. For instance it's ~30% right now and probably will be for the next couple days at least :/ Oh well
 
Thank you :3
I just noticed this today:

Now all the green on this plant is stuff it's grown for me. Yay I can grow helis! (for now at least haha)
 
Love your collection and your "out of the box" growing style. Let's me know these plants are a lot tougher than we think.
Glad to see your heli putting out new growth in those conditions as well.
 
My god it's been a while... Here's what my plants have been up to: (warning: bad pictures)

I like to live dangerously. Here is the newest leaf on my Heli (nutans)

At this rate, I'll see you guys next year haha.
 
Nice! Been waiting for a windowsill update! Good stuff. I really LOVE sanguinea! I think it's way under appreciated but it's a dope plant. Mine jumped pitcher size by like 150% from the pitcher size when I got it to now! Keep them coming. I hope it will be more like "see you guys next week"!
 
Hokay update: I live in SB now so I have my plants outdoors 24/7. Hopefully they like it better now. They seem to be doing pretty well so far!

Just a pic of how they live. The lemon tree gives the perfect amount of splotched light, and the grass gives nice humidity now.

Here's the newest (and only) pitcher on my x pyriformis. Pretty rad and very dark red in the sun.

Let's hope they love it here and grow well haha.
 
awesome update! I love the robcantleyi. looks like a good setup to my as long as the weather is predictable.
 
So jealous! Wish I had a great windowsill or outdoor space, but alas, my plants are confined to artificial lighting in terraria. That pyriformis is beautiful!
 
Thanks guys! What an honor to hear from other great growers like y'all :3

Anyway, my little dubia is still pouting and I don't know why, especially since the inermis looks so good. I just put it in a new pot and new moss so maybe that will be better. Any thoughts or things that seem to stand out to you guys?
 
The color on the pyriformis is very nice! Seems like most others I've seen are lighter and speckled in red. Yours is solid red with yellow/green splotches. Beautiful plant!
