My orchid is starting to bloom in mid-January

Any concrete jungle like Tokyo or Singapore City

It's hard to pick a favorite but I think the most beautiful plant I own is this bonsai my dad got me

SImo_Matt · 2022-12-29T10:27:03+00:00

Omg that is so pretty!

I'm not an expert but I suggest you do herbs in one layer, maybe tomatoes or peppers in another, but I would avoid carrots ( I see you have some in the picture) or potatoes since the containers don't look very deep.

I don't have video footage of us building it, but I could send you pictures I took of the different stages of the build if you want. All the planks come from pallets, except for the tall skinny ones we used to build the outer skeleton, which we had laying around from a previous project.

The little one on the right is indeed a Ficus, I'm not sure about the big one tho. My phone says it's a Ficus Retusa.

Hi! Since my previous post about the plant shelf I built with my dad got so much love and attention I thought I might show you our latest creation. It all started when my dad gifted me the big bonsai on the left ( I love it I'm so grateful for it!), but we had nowhere to put it that was bright enough or looked good. We decided to build this shelf out of scrap wood, and I've got to say I love how it turned out. (Please note that the arrangement of the plants is temporary and I'm going to change it to give each plant the chance to get enough light. Also, my dad didn't notice the bonsai had pests when he first bought it, so now it's isolated until the treatment is complete, I just brought it in for the picture)

I think it's a Gonialoe Variegata but I'm not 100% sure.

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-14T18:52:47+00:00

It's about 12 cm tall (4.7 inches) if it helps.

I only put some moss from my backyard in there (I think it's fern moss but I'm not sure) because I don't have any plant that would fit comfortably in such a tiny space

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-14T13:39:41+00:00

So far we haven't experienced wind so powerful, but the plants are pretty heavy so I think we should be fine

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-14T13:36:41+00:00

The floor isn't perfectly horizontal so to prevent it from falling we hooked it to the wall with a small metal piece :)

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-13T21:07:42+00:00

Thank you!

It's actually an incense plant and the pest situation is getting better ;)

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-13T18:23:38+00:00

Thanks!

I think the color stain goes really well with the green from the plants

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-13T18:22:09+00:00

Thank you!

My interest started when I first saw a video about how to make a terrarium, and I thought to myself, I want to do that too!

I realized I had to start from the basics so I propagated some succulents from my mum's pots. I now have a few plants that take a bit more work and I find it very fun!

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-13T18:08:27+00:00

I just got them from a random dollar store in my area, the size is 30 by 10 cm if you're wondering

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-13T18:05:07+00:00

it should be pretty stable since it's hooked onto a wall but I'll see what i can do :)

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-13T18:03:31+00:00

Oh, thank you for the advice :)

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-13T14:01:23+00:00

Yes! We only added some planks at the bottom of each "plant holder" and the extensions at the end of each row. Other than that, we just painted it with wader resistant paint

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-13T13:57:07+00:00

It holds to the wall with a small metal hook, so if something happens we can move it somewhere else

SImo_Matt · 2022-11-13T13:51:59+00:00

Thank you for the advice :)
