In the hothouse growing

[happypalms]

It all starts with propagation and the best place for that is in the hothouse you have to monitor a hothouse daily when it comes to baby plants you have check constantly creating humidity checking moisture levels and not overwatering or cooking seeds making venting adjustments for fresh air yes you can get computer controlled setups and all the monitoring gadgets there to save time but I enjoy the challenge of growing and getting it right learning from mistakes remembering that advice is free and mistakes are costly when it comes to growing exotic plants

All those baby palms and cycads ! Should I start saving now ? Or wait for the clearance sale ?  The really tiny babies I got from Tim, I honestly thought I might manage to raise a couple of them at most, as I lack a hothouse but they are thriving on the kitchen bench under the skylight dome.  All my very rare succulents grow well and look great just sitting on my lounge room window sill. Last weekend I took down the heavy dark curtains in my bedroom and put up very light weight, pale coloured ones and moved in a ton of plants so the dogs can wake up in a jungle habitat. Without the space (or money) for the correct set ups, I am surprised at how well my improvisations have worked.

Start to mortgage the house peachy I could do a trade for the poochs and kitty Kats but I can’t see that happening 🤣 air is also a big grow asset to have with growing especially indoors bright light certainly helps indoors as well and a good free draining mix that is easy to not overwater but now you sleep well with all that extra oxygen in your room from your plants 🌱

As soon as I catch those kittens I can provide you with a very pretty kitty.  Remi is on a baby making holiday at the moment so I can soon supply pooches too. Next argument please.
