Right ok so my last attempt at a natural setup didn't go so well because of bad lighting. And most of it died Embarassed

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 Wink

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 Laughing

Or Paul can do a list Wink

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.

Oooh Philly its looks great! When PhiPhi Junior hatches you can help me make one Cool

What substrate do you have in the bottom??

I'm now thinking about moving the swift into an exoterra and planting it...

Also hoping that Gibson is a Les Paul I can come and have a tinker on... Cool
