my greenhouse Building project.
 

Hi everyone.
I would like to share with all of you the process of building my greenhouse.
After checking the prices of many ready greenhouse's to buy, find out that the smallest greenhouse without equipment costs at least NIS 7,000.
So I started to check on construction one alone.
Eventually I found this site:
http://www.buildeazy.com/greenhouse.html
In the end I finished with the same expense but with all the equipment.

A few pictures:

If someone has questions This is the place.

Sorry about my English.

Hello itamar,
Welcome to the forum, really cool green house ! lizar he from israel too !

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Nice greenhouse....Just my thought, I think those S.Purpurea needs much more sunlight in order to keep its redness

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Take another look
this is my S.Purpurea

Nice job on the greenhouse Itamar! Bet it'll be full before you know it! There is also another member from Israel named Amrit, whom you should hook up with for nep seeds!

Hi Itamar.....Thanks for the pics...They're really beautiful..Anyways all sarras require direct sunlight or at least a lot of sunlight to maintain the colour...If its in shade it'll turn green..And the purpurea hybrid is probally S.Mitchelliana

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Nicely done Itamar!

Is that a mini refrigerator you have there in one of the pictures and it is cooling the water for you to water the plants? Or is that a cooled terrarium you have there because when I look at the picture again I can see a pot in there. The other equipment outsite looks like a humifier. What plants you have in there?

What is the temperature like in the Greenhouse?

By the way, thanks for the website link. Good step by step info and advise on how to build a greenhouse. Really useful. :)

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Hi David.
Yes, that mini refrigerator is a cooled terrarium.
some pictures for you:
Attachment 2014

that device is keeping the temperature in the refrigerator on 22 - 25 degrees.

some more pictures for you from inside:

that device is keeping the temperature in the Greenhouse on 31-35 degrees.

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Thanks for the additional information and pictures. Appreciate it.

Hope you don't mind more questions. *biggrin2*

What do you have in the tray? I am so curious. Haa, haa... You may need to take out the shelf in the mini fridge when your highland neps grow up huh. The humifier is on the whole day or on timer?

Off topic... Is that drawing done by your kid? Looks like he likes cactus instead of CPs. I can see 2 pots of cactus in hi/her drawing. :)

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Cool and nice setup. Hope they all grow well for you.

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

well,
I'm not sure what you mean by "tray", but...
in this tray there are seeds of hybrid that a friend of my did from two forms of Nepenthes ventricosa, red and yellow.

(they were very old, about a year. but I managed to sprout some :smile:)
Attachment 2020

in the other tray there are 7 small Nepenthes rajah and one very slowly
adapting Nepenthes aristolochioides.
Attachment 2021
Attachment 2022

on the bottom there is Nepenthes singalana (relatively new).
and my sphagnum farming :tongue:.

about that drawing.
my girl friend drow that for a child's book as a student.
it gotten very pale from the sun.
and yes, she loves cactutes.:wub:

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Thanks.
They have direct sunlight all day. but They are still adapting.
I took them out from the house just two months ago.
this is pictures from the day I took them out:

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Having a Jack-roof is excellent idea. Helps regulate tempreture.

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

What about your Heliamphora??I wish I could build a green house like you when I move!

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Oh,saw your Heli.So cute!!But don't you think putting Vfts in the tray is bad?Or they will go dormant with the Sarras?

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

I'm sorry.
Here you go:

What is "Vfts" ?
I didn't understand.:confused:
I know that "Heli" Need more cooling in winter, but I didn't know that "Heli" has dormant time.
but if you say so I believe you.:biggrin:

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

There's a compact Heli! *biggrin2* Must be a hybrid.

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Vfts = Venus Flytraps / Dionaea muscipula

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Thanks David.

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

ho, You mean the bog garden.
Attachment 2048
everything in the bog garden supposed to go to dormant in the Winter.

Re: my greenhouse Building project.
 

Sorry for the misunderstanding!Thanks David for explaining it!:blush:But Heliamphora does not go dormant.
