Hi Harlem

Thanks for the kind comments.I'm not sure what kind of chilli but its not the normal red chili.Your miranda will easily pitcher if given some nice warm humid conditions.

I am of this opinion. You have bought the wrong rack, bad mistake... too small!! :2thumbup:

Looking good Ken. :1thumbup:

Hi bactrus

Well i know its a little small but i can hang neps at the side also which now i don't have too because i don't have much plants.

2ndly as you can see the rack already takes up quite a lot of space but its definitly much more space conserving than the broomsticks which took up half of my balcony.My main concern now is if its stainless steel or not

Called up Ikea lo. Ask them whether it is ss or not.

Hi Ken,

If it is not stainless steel rack, you may need to consider painting it to give some protection from the elements.

Look already know its stainless steel or not.SS will have some sort of aluminum/chrome colour.Even SS got many grades.If its low grade SS,then it can rust after sometime.High quality SS grade 30 and above can last many years.

The rack is mild steel with coated painting.Should be ok.

dude im thinking of buying the rack from ikea for my neps too.. i need more space! all my neps occupying my floor.. some are under my trees...

Hi Malowie

Yeah i bought the rack for saving place because my balcony is getting crowded which now it isn't anymore.But if you stay in landed property than no need la just put them around but a rack can also be convenient but not a nessecity.
