my little hideout
 

To cut a long story short, I was growing orchids and airplants before getting poisoned by neps. Although the airplants were growing well at my home (high rise HDB flat in Singapore) the neps were not really doing that well and I knew the airplants would do better out in the open also. After a few months of searching, I finally found a suitable place to house them :)

Here's the pics!

This was my previous nep setup, march 2011

I then constructed a small waterproof structure to put my small collection of cacti and succulents

here it is now, Oct 2011. Two trays almost full, wallet already empty :(

wow...i wish i got these space, in my house, every nep had to stuck together very compact

Re: my little hideout
 

Actually my nep pots are all squeezed together also, if not there wun be enough space... :(

Re: my little hideout
 

Waaa.... Great transformation. Just curious, the tray of water, how do you prevent mosquitoes from breeding? Do you make holes in the tray?

Re: my little hideout
 

actually, the tray is like a mini pond, there are tadpoles, guppies, dragonfly and damselfly nymphs and other little critters inside, so no mozzies :)

Re: my little hideout
 

nice. out of curiosity is the area surrounding the rack the compound of your house? if so, you sure have a LOT of space... :P

Re: my little hideout
 

Very nice and good. As what everyone has mentioned just now, is the area around you your house compound? You stay in a high rise HDB flat, don't you? Is this area the ground floor of the flat? I just puzzled over how you maintain your plants' safety from being stolen......if it were me I would be worried terribly :spinning:

On the other hand, all the nepenthes are growing well and yes, cramped space is happening for growers like us who just can't get enough of nepenthes *biggrin2*.....you could consider selling some plants to "fill" up your wallet too :smile:

Re: my little hideout
 

Bro, that's not my house la! I live in a HDB flat :(

Yes, I live in HDB, this is not the ground floor of my flat! The place is rather ulu, thankfully and of course it's secure and there are dogs.

I do sell some of my neps sometimes to try reclaim my cost, but only within sg!

Re: my little hideout
 

Wow! Look at all the SPACE! The vast collection! So cool!
