Better yet...when you've sold the hubby's seat in order to make room for more orchid shelving.

OMG, I'm getting there.

My dreamhouse would have a large livingroom with glass ceiling, so the entire space can work like a greenhouse.

Or you dream about living in a greenhouse surrounded by orchids....

...when you wonder if there's such thing as a "crazy plant lady" instead of "crazy cat lady" and what it takes to qualify...

Of course there is!

I once saw someone post a picture of a living room with orchids all over carpet, sofa, literally every possible space that no one can get to the living room. Not sure if that was a lady or a dude, but it was pretty crazy! lol

Can that person be considered a "hoarder"? Or for that matter, can anyone of us? If you were to visit me this past winter, I had orchids on shelves in front of every available window. It doesn't look so bad, now that my plants are in the porch and my deck.

That makes me feel better that I'm not that bad. At least it's only the tables, windowledges and mantlepiece for me

When your spouse avoids driving past Lowe's because you will ask to stop then make a beeline for a garden center to look at their new orchid on sale.
True story!

I use drinks for pots and for mixing and keeping fertilizer water, and sometimes I buy gatorade and dump it out purely because I only want to pay 89 cents for a 1-qt bottle!

I am switching over to semi-hydro so adequate pots are a necessity. DH loves prunes and I find the container an ideal size for smaller plants. Juice bottles, bleach jugs, milk jugs, anything that will lend itself to my endeavor. I have even prevailed on friends to save their empty jugs for me. The larger size containers are the hard to find ones. Especially those that are sturdier than milk jugs. I wish I could find a source for the smaller Folger coffee jugs.
I have tried recycling places in my area but most of them recycle only metal. Any suggestions?
