Recycle Laundry Area
We had been drying our clothes with this Australian made foldable clothes line for 15 years. To minimise ironing, we decided to change to an environmentally unfriendly clothes dryer. With the decommisioning of clothes line, I moved all my sun burnt orchids and Cps to the sheltered laundry area.
Here are a small sample of plants grown in the laundry area. Laundry Area One of my favourite, a red rafflesiana, given to me as a seedling by David Tan. The pitcher is about 9 cm tall. Speckled rafflesiana. When young the pitchers were white with light speckles. Even now, the small pitchers are speckled and the larger pitchers are more solid brown. The largest pitcher is 15cm. Dark brown rafflesiana. Got this one from Lau. Everyone's favourite - ampullaria red giant. This cutting is doing better than the original plant (see below) I bought from Fauzi. Another seedling from David that turned into a beauty: nice red mirablis x thorelli. This viking was bought in Chatuchak Market, Bangkok. Still small, the first pitcher of campanulata bought from Fauzi. Thanks for viewing. Choong |

Re: Recycle Laundry Area
I think your new area is even better for your neps. Seems very humid with dappled sunlight. Your plants are thriving and growing well. Congrats.

Re: Recycle Laundry Area
Hey athene if you ain't using it for anything then go for it....If it faces everywhere but north then lighting should be fine..South like mine somehow gets only direct sunlight some part of the year which is good for sarrs and VFTs during the sunny time but bad for my neps cause they dry out too fast and leaves turn not so greenish..

Re: Recycle Laundry Area
The laundry area faces the east. So it gets the sun in the morning.
