Great looking greenhouse!

I agree with Tracey about the shallow pots: Very cool!
 
Hi,
Thanks for the comments. The greenhouse is 2.6x2x2m or 8x6x6feet.
The "hanging moss" is actually not moss and just called spanish moss, the real name is Tillandsia usneoides and it's a relative of the pineapple we all love ;) I hang it just because I think it looks nice and I've got lots of it for free from a nursery nearby...
 
tillandsia... That's the genus of "Airplants" so is that actually alive? I agree the pots have a very positive appearance. Nice greenhouse.

yup, it is alive and growing, they get the water they need from humidity and food from the dust in the air.. I think CPs can learn a thing or two from them...:)
 
That's really incredible. I find it so fascinating that a plant can get food and water from dust and humidity...

How fast do they grow?
