Default Portable (winter-rest) plantrack

Hi everyone,

I haven't got such a large greenhouse that i have a seperate section for orchids that want a winter rest. So i usually take over the unheated spare bedroom of my house. But i always was struggeling with my mounted plants and my smaller hanging pots.

So i came up with the following idea: i bought a simple clothing rack from Ikea, some plastified wire netting and plastic covered wire. I attached the wire netting to the rack with the wire. That's it! And for a couple of buks i have now my own portable plantrack!! I use it for the winter rest periode, but you could use it all year round!

P.s. If your plants are top heavy, tie two bricks to the bottom of the rack with wire, so it doesn't tip over with your precious orchids on it!!!

Good luck & have fun!
