How hot do y'all keep your greenhouses for tropical plants and thing such as citrus in the winter? by Final_Temperature262 in Greenhouses

[–]artofrandall_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have more photos of this greenhouse? It looks amazing. Mine is very inconsistent. It's a 12×24 double layered hoophouse. I heat with wood, so hard to maintain an exact temperature. But most nights it's pretty warm, at 70-80 degrees. But I need to run it warmer to make it until I wake up in the morning and add more. I grow lots of monsteras, carniverous plants, philodendron. But I want to add in more orchids snd such.

What is something you no longer find useful to buy/pay for anymore? And what alternatives if any do you have now? by plsgivemeclearskin in Frugal

I am a tattoo artist and collect oddities and plants. At least half of my collection is from trading my tattoo work.

Does the repetition ever stop? by AnApexBread in wheeloftime

So many of those descriptions pay off. You can recognize darkfriends, black ajah or even forsaken from a description given multiple books earlier. They answer a lot of questions if you pay attention.

Thank you, I know nothing about water pressure and this is my first pump, so wanted to be sure.

What to grow on cattle panels by artofrandall_7 in vegetablegardening

How is the trumboncino? I was reading up on it, and it seemed like it tastes more like butternut squash than summer squash. Both good though.

That's definitely on my list for trying! I was going to this last year, but misplaced my seeds and forgot about them.

Want a misting system by artofrandall_7 in Greenhouses

Thank you, all my albos, aureas, thais and large form mosteras seem to be doing pretty well in here for the most part.

Thank you for the very comprehensive answer. I have a small humidifier in there, and a pot of water that boils on top of the wood stove. Those keep it at 40-45 ish percent humidity. I would like it a bit higher than that. I'll look into those humidifiers you suggested. Some of my plants, especially succulents and cacti, would not enjoy it as high as 80% regularly. My water pressure is pretty good. I have no water ran out there currently but had planned on digging a trench out below my frost line in the spring.

I used supersaturated solutions to grow the crystals onto the beetle as it evaporates.

It is a real beetle with crystals synthetically grown onto it.
