Potential future nep cooling

[lithopsman]

Just saw this article that was released forty minutes ago... Could be the perfect cooler for highland neps! I'm sure there would be some way to remove one from a refridgerator...

Interesting Article

Yea, that would be perfect... unfortunately it would be big, and really expensive

You'd be better off just buying a fridge and putting a bunch of lights in it, and adding a galss door

Spec is right. I inquired years ago at some of the pop companies about the unit tha keeps Pepsi cold in a vending machine. They said it would cost about $250.

Hi all:

That's nothing compared to a commercial fridge, it costs about 2500 Australian dollars or roughly 1800 american dollars, but one can put as many as 20 medium sized plants and it already has glass doors.

I know right now that is the case, but perhaps eventually they will make smaller ones as stated in the possible uses in computers... Keep hope high!

Actually, once i get my own place, i would like to build a cold room (frigorific) where you store meat. In this case, guess what i'll be storing?

time is up!. villosas, rajahs, lamiis, macrophyllas and any other ultrahighland i can get my hands on

Gus,

That would be awesome. Imagine having a cold sun room!

ha ha wish i had macrophylla
but for my b'day ima getting
veitchii
truncata
sanguinea
raffasenia
fusca
gracilis
alata
which comes to a grand total of $120.00
the same amount my bical,lowii,and ampullaria added up to last year!!

 

[nepenthes gracilis]

Must have recieved an N. ampullaria tricolor or williams red or something if you total for bical, lowii and amp was $120!

As for the cooling method, $250 isn't that expensive! For a cooling unit, a Pepsi cooling unit like we have at work is only $250? Jeez that'd be well worth it I'd say!

 

[nep29]

it was a meture plant of ampullaria sarawak "striped" $30
bicalcurata farily nice size!!!!!! $45
lowii mt kinnabula $45

Well, in a couple of weeks time, i'll be getting some muluensis, hamatas, veitchii highlands, veillardii, and species number 7. so wish me good luck, cause i am going to need it. Temps are fine now for these plants, what i don't like is the hot summer weather.
