Re: Back from vacation, some shots from the GH...DUW

Yeah, I know what you mean about leaving your plants for a while. All of my adelae and a pot of mutifida managed to die in the 2 weeks I was gone. At least you came home to a happy picture. I wish I had half the collection you have.

Re: Back from vacation, some shots from the GH...DUW

Guess I got lucky too! Although I DID install and automated misting system in the greenhouse and nursery before leaving for 7 out of the last 10 weeks! Came back to find a bunch of plug trays of Drosera/Byblis have germinated! More of them than when I'm here worrying over them day and night!
All your plants look happy and healthy SirKristof! I love the baby Pings popping up through the sphagnum. You guys kill me with your "not-a-single-bug-bite" plants! I wish I could keep my plants looking like that! :biggrin:

I dont have a misting system, i go in there a few times a day and spray em or mist em....
They are in a spot where they are shaded from when the sun comes over the tree line at 10AM till around 4PM when the sun comes directly into my GH for about 2-3 hours, then its back to shaded sun.
They seem to love it, and i have no idea how much longer the not-a-single-but-bite thing will last
there are a ton of slug trails on a few of my plants but not a single bite....
i think they know what id do to em. lol

And thanks alcran, most of my plants are small so its not very impressive, but they are starting to put on some size out there in that GH
ill get pics of some of my other plants sometime soon.

So are most of my plants. I've only been in it for 2 years. I started out with 3 inch plants. The only one that has any size is the truncata.

Re: Back from vacation, some shots from the GH...DUW

Yeah, ive been in to CPs for a year and a half, but only about 3/4 of a year of that has been dedicated to neps....
Most of my plants are in the 3-6" range
then ive got some adult plants, but nothing special really.

Re: Back from vacation, some shots from the GH...DUW

Wow friend, thanks for sharing.

Re: Back from vacation, some shots from the GH...DUW

thanks bactrus, not a problem.
I enjoy sharing my plants once in awhile now :)
i will get some pics of some others later on for you guys.

Re: Back from vacation, some shots from the GH...DUW

I wish moss like that could grow in New York. Nice truncata x tm
