Re: Greenhouse Tour
Bill...Thanks for sharing these photos with the group. About what size is that greenhouse?
Re: Greenhouse Tour
Hi Flavio,
Well it started out as a 12 x 8 (3.6 x 2.4) then I added another one the same size next to it, I then filled the gap between the two 2' (.6m) and then I added another 4' (1.2) to the back given a total of 18 x 16 (5.2 x 4.8) and about 2500 plants.

Re: Greenhouse Tour
I think you need more haworthias & gasterias. Those few that you have just don't seem to be enough

Re: Greenhouse Tour
