Show us your greenhouse

Post by Chrisg »

On succulent forums there are often whole sections dedicated to peoples greenhouses. Each member has a thread on the inside of their greenhouse. They are one of my favourite sections, there is nothing better than sneak peaks inside a collectors greenhouse. I thought it would be fun to see what people here have in theirs, especially after Charlies thread on his collection of greenhouses :lol:

So what does the inside of your green house look like at the moment.

Guess is should start with mine. I have been having a big clear out and cleanup

the left hand side is aloes and agaves

As I have space, the plants are split by table, Agaves

then on the right hand side the echeverias

The empty saucers are for plants that have been top cut and are in the shade for a week or so to get settled. There is one more table to go which contains the cacti and dudleyas. It is all very neat at the moment, but there is no way it will stay that way. :lol:

You'll have to wait for mine. I've a robins nest at the moment so won't/can't go in there. I know theres five eggs in the nest and a solanum rantonettii in the greenhouse!

Chris, the first picture...the bottom row of pots...The plant in the middle has an odd coloured stone in it. It looks sooo out of place amongst the rest of the pots :lol: I could never be that neat and tidy I go for the more rural look :mrgreen:

:lol: I have been down to the greenhouse and removed the offending stone :oops:.

keep a succulent greenhouse tidy is easy, plants are small, there is no leaf dropping and the soil is covered in gravel so the pots look good. The only problem Is ensurinf you don't get spiked when trying to water.

Flounder, is your robin territorial about its nest or just one of those that will leave if disturbed?

I've been up there a couple of times just to remove plants, she wasn't too bothered by me but I don't want to push my luck when they hatch. A saucer of meal worm helped I think!
