Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 11:30 pm Post subject: Crestie Natural Setup II |
|
|
Right ok so my last attempt at a natural setup didn't go so well because of bad lighting. And most of it died so for my 2nd attempt I got better lighting, made a reflector box thing for it and then got started on the plants. Apart from the creeping fig, pothos and ivy all plants from www.urbanbromeliad.co.uk, cheers Paul
Here's some pics...
Just got to put a feeding platform up in the top right (corkbark stuck to the glass) and then it's finished. If you want to know what any particular plant is then I'll tell you but right now I can't be bothered
Or Paul can do a list |

Cheers mate
And erm I'll let you know I'm going to try just siliconing it? If that doesn't hold I'll have to try some other stuff, maybe magnets? |

I use the 'no more nails' glue to stick cork tiles to the glass. It works a treat, just make sure you apply enough to the edges of the tiles ( where it can start to come away after a while ) and wipe away any excess. _________________ Fraser Gilchrist

Ok the substrate is a mix of eco earth, peat and fine orchid bark. And yeah you should do one for the swift
Hahaha like I have Gibson money, it's just the top of the guitar hero guitar (which I'm better than Dean at ) |
