Majcka 2015

Post by majcka »

Finaly I have something to share.

After a huge winter disaster I have something to be proud of. That would be my new GH.

In the middle of February I cleaned up leftovers...

As you can see I also placed (with the help pf my husband) some iron net on the ceilling for stapeliads and some other suculents in baskets.

At the end I placed shelvings in and place plants into shelves.

Lot of space for everything - I like that! =D>
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

Very nice indeed, Majcka. I really like your utilization of space -- the hanging baskets are a delight!

Best wishes
