Everything has a place and a place for everything, Steve.
Except room for your chair!

The pond is a feature most GHs lack, very nice and the fish love their tropical environ.

Your plants have grown so much...beautiful specimens.
I swear it's full already!

Are all the seedlings inside now? or are there still some under the tree?
Barb

Barb,

Still have them outside, and room for a chair seems like such a waste of space 😀

I'm happy with how things turned out, just posting this stuff to give other people ideas 8)

You commented on the banana earlier, that was a one gallon from Lowes. Over potted it with half a container of Osmocote added to the mix. Has really done well!
( after losing all of mine last winter, going to keep this one in a container)

Steve

The banana has done very well indeed; sounds as though Osmocote is magic for nearly everything.
Looks like it's sending out pups too.

And have those seedlings ever grown under that tree!
Once they're in the new GH, you won't have room (or time) to sit.

BTW, your wife will be thrilled this winter to have her dining room back. 😆 😆

Barb

Steve, it's looking great! All those stryofoam cups! 😆 Nice banana! Do you know what kind it is?

BTW, your wife will be thrilled this winter to have her dining room back.

not too sure about that part yet 😆 maybe just a few things that will need to come in................

Steve

Dean,

Those styrofoam cups are only the beginning, there are some more outside,

Then about 400 more inside the green house 😀
(I need to get busy finding homes for some of this stuff)

I'm not sure about the ID on the banana, the Lowes tag just said "Banana" 😆

Steve

W O W, Steve, nice!

Barb

Wow, Steve, you got a regular nursury there.

My illness is progressing along nicely 😆

The Nypa fruticans has resumed growth 8)

It had to be re potted for the new setting. With aquatic soil, that meant bare rooting it 😐
In the new set up, the roots will be able to grow out of the sides and bottom of the container into 3" - 4" of soil at the bottom of the tank.

When growing Palms aquatically, the roots will creep out from everywhere and work their way down to the bottom of the tank. It's interesting to be able to see the root growth! (Chamaedorea cataractarum)

Steve

It's looking great. The fish seem happy too. 😀

Things are settling in,

Steve,
Aha! As we all suspected, your new GH is already full 😆 😆
Joking aside, what an array of beautiful specimens you have in there.

Your description of the Nypa's aquatic root growth would make the palms invaluable in habitat for holding banks/hillsides at river edges during monsoon rains/storms. Very cool.
Those seedlings look very very healthy, obviously benefiting from the humidity in there.

Your "misc" pic of the interior is fabulous.
I would putter around in there for hours and hours, never getting anything else done.

Nice work!
Barb

Thanks Barb!
Just trying to replicate my own little piece of the tropics, at least until I win the lottery and can move somewhere warmer 😆
