Maria's teeny tiny itty bitty growing space.

[peeweelovesbooks]

Here you go peeps. My main growing area. Not pictured are about 4 mounts, some renantheras, my angraecoids, a couple of indoor orchids and my office orchids.

Pictured below are my catts, Laelias and rupics & several odds and ends. I. NEED. MORE. ROOM.

Your comments are welcome.




The seedlings:











My rupicolous Laelias (aka the "brats")



Some more rupicolous Laelias, two renantheras and an Epidendrum campestre (all the way in the back--it has put on 5 new growths since I got it @ the redlands this year!)




So that's most of it. I need more plants!!! (giggle)

Maria-

The babies are adorable! It looks like they are growing so very nicely! You have those chids under some strict organization I need you to come over and whip mine into shape too

Great job! I can only hope to have something similar someday- the shelving will work well in my area.

What kind of LECA are you using?

[Connie Star]

Maximum use of minimum space, I would say. Amazing level of organization. I bet you're one of those people who has your underwear drawer organized and your clothes hung in your closet by color code.

wow, neat!!! mine are sprawling all over the small porch as i'm in the midst of reaarranging the shelves. hope my cats or my husband don't trip over them. maybe i need a couple more weekends if i don't go shopping again!

Thanks everyone.

Funny--everyone who has seen the pics comments on the "organization." It took me a little while to get there, but now I finally found tags and pots that I like. LOLOLOL

Thanks Katie. I'm sure you have your own method of organization, plus you'll have lots of new space in your new home!!!

Just regular hydroton. I don't like the prime agra as much. I like the shape of these (although when they fall and run off they are almost impossible to catch) they are almost perfectly round.

Thank you!! I can't squeeze anything else in there really without throwing the whole system off.

Well, I don't go as far as color-coding my clothes but you are spot on with the rest--and the sock drawer too.

Thanks everyone for their kind comments. It's a work in progress though.

It's great to hear that you have success with Hydroton- that's the only kind I have access to.

Are all of your Laelias species?
