Ok Gill , This is for business which happens to be my hobby ;). I will have echeverias and modern Hibiscus hybrids. I decided to try Adeniums as well but we will have to see how this goes. The Adenium may just be a hobby but I will have space for them inside until I decided if I want to produce them for sale. So far only those 3 types of plants. I do want to add Orchids Particularly Vanda's but I may build a mini Gh just for me and hobby only. I am also toying around with growing coral inside this also. ( this may be a heck no but I like to dream big haha )

The Gh is almost done. If you can see the extra plastic hanging down. This will be put on my roll up sides. We will be cutting extra plastic as well. We may have to take the top layer off and lay it again. I am really dreading this because the wire lock likes to rip holes into the film :(

We will be building the door hopefully tomorrow or in a few days. I am also going to buy material to start building shelves.

Very nice, Kerry. Glad to see it coming together. Will you need to heat the greenhouse over the winter?

Tracy

Tracy I doubt I will need a heater. I will just have to see what kind of temps I get this winter. If the greenhouse truly is 20 degrees warmer at night then I should be fine.

Fantastic, thanks for the pics, a business and hobby, that makes the obvious combo, what surely could be better than that? I was wondering how the plastic is held in place, see you mention wire clips? I trust you live in a less windy location than I do, as if I had your g/h in my garden, (it would easily fit btw!) it would end up as space junk! I have already lost two aluminium and glass ones to gales as I live on a high ridge in the open countryside with views of up to 50 miles in several directions....so exposed to wind from every direction as you can imagine! I can't wait to see further progress in the g/h so please be sure to keep us ALL updated as I'm sure there is a lot of interest in your project.

Great greenhouse, it will be like a city of plants soon. I'm liking the dog that sits there as if to say, yup this is my den, now back off!

Do tell what's in the box! I can read it says photo certif, so is it Adenium plants, surely it isnt jam packed full of seeds?

G Curious UK

Is it a Thailand special TS??? Let's see it Kerry.

If that's seeds Kerry's going to need a bigger greenhouse

I bet this is Kerry's tree/trees from Dino.

Rick

The suspense I killing us, please don't leave us hanging here like this! Whaaaaaaaat is it?

Gill UK

She did mention ordering seven thousand seeds or something. If there are plants in there I hope she remembers to take pictures of the roots first.

curious whats in the BOX?....10,000 seeds?

A massive true Adenium socotranum??

C'mon Kerry!

I guess we'll never know................

seen it, its from dino

Certainly worth the wait, what a haul....Rick wins that fattest one for guessing the correct answer!

Great looking GH. I wish I had the room and time!!

Lonnie

Those are wonderful, Kerry. Very happy for you and sorry to hear of seeds taken. Do they give you a reason, why the seeds where confiscated?

Either way the trees do well for you and now able to stay nice and warm inside your Greenhouse.

Rick

They took the seeds because they were not included on the phyto. I will be ordering more so Dino said he will give me more seeds. so I can not complain.

Yes, This was an oversight with them not on Phyto. Dino is a respectable guy and it is what I would expect he would do. Glad for you.

So let's see your trees all dressed up, Kerry. When time allows.

Rick

I am going to soak them right now. I have gotten plants from Rinoa before but I just potted then and didn't do anything special. I will be taking really good care of these to make sure they grow to their potential

These look terrific Kerry.

Kerry, Curious which cultivar is the one in the pale green pot (middle)?

Rick

Kerry, I want your GH and your plants.

I didn't want to start, afraid of another addiction, and can't stop.

Marie

Kerry I can't wait to hear about which varieties you bought. Please give details when you have time.

Thanks!

Tracy

Wonderful trees, Kerry. Look forward to seeing them grow in you new greenhouse.

We have greenhouses here similar, but ours have two layers of poly and air is blown I between the two layers, creating a thermal barrier.

Nice set-up.

Rick

Rick, My gh has the same. The fan is blowing between the two layers as well.

All are growing new roots already and leaves. The bigger plant not so much. It looks like she is forming buds. Should I pinched them off for root growth ? I know plants spend all their engeey creating buds.

It's time to pot up all those little obesums ! Hopefully I can get to them today

Kerry, I would hold off on rubbing or pinching off what may be buds. On some of them they have reddish tips that elongate slightly and then leaves emerge from this. If you wait for a bit you will know for sure. If they are buds, I am not sure if I would pinch off? Many Arabicums bloom on leafless stems. Although your question is in regard to them being new bare root trees.

Rick

Here is some close ups

Your second pic Kerry..Congratulations ..I am afraid it's BUDS ! ! :)

I think Sinha is correct seeing these photo's, Kerry. You usually do not get leaves growing as this. It looks more like an inflorescence of buds.

As far as taking them off. I know normally we would take them off, but possibly someone else can shed some light on whether it would be detrimental to it's root production.

Rick

My multiforum seems to have buds forming as well. This is a surprise for me.

Kerry, congrats. Can you post some photos? I'm curious to see if your multiflorum has any leaves right now while she is getting ready to bloom. When you get a chance.

She is naked. When she got to me her leaves fell off from shipping stress.

Interesting adenium. Those flowers are going to rock, Kerry

Here is a pic for you A2A

I planted some of the seedlings in a basket tray. These are a mixed arabicum pack from I think Adenium center

How did the plants do over winter ?
