Kizatz's Greenhouse. * 2
    #22090484 - 08/14/15 09:42 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hello everyone.

I thought I would create a thread here for people to discuss greenhouses and display greenhouse plants. My summer project this year, was building the new greenhouse in my yard. I am happy to say that is is now complete, and I have a new home for my plants.

I am going to update images from my greenhouse to this thread, so as not to bog the forum with other threads.

I welcome other people to discuss greenhouse kits, or greenhouse issues, in this thread as well as other related topics like: domes, bells, cold frames, and the like.

Enjoy.. Kizatz.  :stoned:

I am looking to put up another one in spring, got to save some pennies up first.

Will you be using a heater over winter?

Its not insulated at all.. the plan is to set up lights in the garage. I could run a 220 in the garage if I had to.. lol  but dont plan on eating up that kind of electricity for lights. and heat. with the furnace adjacent to the garage it stays about 60 there year round., so will be ok. some of the hardier plants will be able to just overwinter in the greenhouse.. and the large tricho-tubs will sit in front of the livingroom window, along with the Hoya.. they will come back inside.

Ah I see. I don't heat either, I mostly grow cacti and they are all happy to go dormant. Trichs and other cold hardy cacti stay in the greenhouse for winter, the rest get packed up into boxes and moved to the garage.

That is a good height on your greenhouse, 8 feet to the ridge? (2.4m :wink:)

Time for a greenhouse update.

I thought I would Post some update photos of my greenhouse. They have really been enjoying the new environment. The acacia trees have put out a lot of new growth. Pretty soon, I am going to have to repot the eucalyptus trees.

I hope you all enjoy the photos. I will keep posting more and the greenhouse updates.

Acacia salicina


Eucalyptus citriodora


New growth and new pup photo on my largest pachanoi.


Crazy Growth on a Tricho-Pach. I started this plant from seed, THIS YEAR. LOL Back in January. I am amazed at just how fast TP, can grow.

http://

This photo, is Of the New Pup, on My TP. It emerged in May of this year, and it is already larger than a Bic Lighter.


This photo, is of A Trichocereus species mix, (peruvianus and bridgesii), and an Akersia roseiflora seedling. a little over a year old.


The last photo here is an update of my first Trichocereus seedlings. I started these a little over a year ago, in May. They have really taken off this summer and went from being about the size of my pinkey nail, to where they are now. They are also starting to put out some nice spines.

I built some furniture for the greenhouse. I do Need to finish painting it, but.. the racks will provide some shade for some of my cactys cups, and small pots.

Its amazing what you can do with some scrap wood. . some nails and some white enamel paint. LOL

Looks great!  I have the same greenhouse, and have had it up for about 2 years now.  I ended up with some relatively extensive mods after reading reviews and what other folks had done with theirs.  How did you go about securing yours? I see that you didn't bury the "foundation" that the kit comes with.

Kykeion,

I ended up making a foundation. I got some pressure treated wood. Dug a trench, and put a wooden foundation down first.. and secured the metal base to it. Then I laid some cement paver-stones down as a floor. at the 4 corners there are a small pile of pavers for weight.

So I guess you could say.. I secured the foundation to heavier foundation.. lol

I am not sure if it shows up in photos. . but I modified the interior.. I got some 1/2" metal conduit pipe. I bent the edges of it and flattened them to make a couple metal rafter poles to stableize the interior. The greenhouse has withstood one heavy storm since I put it up.. with winds in excess of 50-MPH.

The one thing I can say about this kind of greenhouse is. (BUY extra clips), they are your friend. LOL. You can never put too many on and around a panel.. lol

Nice, yeah I made a similar foundation out of pressure treated 4x6's.  The biggest benefit of this was that I was able to have my GH moved when we bought a house four months ago.  ATM it is just sitting on the surface, but hopefully in the next week or so I will be able to get a pit excavated so I can sink everything in the ground about 8 inches.

I also added interior stabilization.  I was lucky enough to have access to free steel struts that we built and interior frame out of and constructed work benches with.  I don't know what that stuff actually costs, but was told that if I had to buy it all it probably would have cost at least what I paid for the green house.


And yeah extra clips for sure! Even with extras I lost panels occasionally.  At the old house i had lined the panels with a foam tape (between the panel and the frame) which helped hold them in tighter and seal the green house a little better.  This time around I used silicone caulk in addition to the clips since I don't plan on moving the green house again.

Hey gang. . Came in here today to share my last building project, for Fall. I am starting to bring in some of my more tender topicals, like my Pluktenia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plukenetia_volubilis

Am also bringing in my Plumeria shrubs, (started from seed, lol). I will cross my fingers they survive the winter indoors and Bloom next growing year. (sigh) One of my favorite fragrant plants. I brought in my Gardenias too. The Gardenia species I am growing are NOT Cold tolerant Species.

Anyway, After I got the covered awning done, over the oil furnace tank-ports, I had some left over building materials, SO I built a coldframe and a couple birdhouses. LOL.

I am sure the coldframe will help next spring when I am starting plants for the garden.

Hope you guys enjoy the new images.  :wink:

Hey Thanks all. I thought I would drop my today, and update some photos to my thread. Its just some scrap wood and corrougated polycarbonate plastic. I glued the panels in with some silicone gel. Maybe a kind of wood that would repel insects? Cedar? I dunno. Ill have to keep an Eye out for the dreaded RSM's

Here is an image from the greenhouse today. Its still in the 80's-f in the daytime. Its my Sacred cacti-sacred Basil companion. :laugh:

I use it for cooking, To be honest. I also use it as an all around wellness tea. It has the anise/licorice character. I have not tried taking large doses of it. It tastes very good.

you can learn more about it at wiki.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocimum_tenuiflorum

Imo, it is a good Basil species to grow. In winter months Tulsi tea with honey and green tea is good. I harvested tons of tea seeds this year, from last year's set on both of my plants. I am going to try and start some more tea Camellias,from the seed soon. I still have some more Tulsi seed for next yeah. I like how it performed, so I am going to do more of it next year.

Well, I had a nice weather day here today so I thought I would grab my camera and take some snaps of some of the things that I got in my greenhouse.

Here are a couple photos of a general view. (Oct. 2015).

I'm thinking your unknowns on top are looking more like cuzcoensis, possibly peruvianoid rather than bridgesii, which has less spines and smaller, darker areoles.  Also, your "terschekii" might end up being something more like spachianus/camarguensis.  I had some seeds labelled "terschekii" that ended up being in that clade and they looked very similar at that age.  True terschekii are super fat and wide and grow extremely slow for the first few years, they almost start out looking like globulars.  Nice plants at any rate.

Very nice, miss K. :thumbup:
(and I noticed the Tephrocactus weberi :wink:)

What's that beautiful centrepiece, a Epiphyllum or a Hylocereus?

Yeah, I am not really sure. I had 2 packs of seed: Trichocereus brigesii, and Peruvianus that were mixed..so. .It just looks a hell of a lot more like brigesii..I should have kept the 2 packs separate but oh well. . lol  Only time will tell. The problem with buying seed at times, is that it isn't always (pure), or else maybe even mis-labled. As they get older, I will know for sure. Same goes with the terschekii

That's Ok, By now I have come to expect that kind of response from you. LOL Again, Am flattered. Thank you

The Big pot in the middle is my Epiphyllum colony. that is the first cacti, I started from seed, over a decade ago. It survived an attack from my dog who ate several blades, when he was a puppy, and several falls, when in hanging basket. I finally decided to put it in a terrestrial pot with a tomato cage. Maybe that will help. I have no idea what flower colors they are. I only eve have gotten it to bloom once, and it was a a single flower on one blade. It was red. with an electric pink center. The colony has admittedly had some hardship, but I hope that with a little better care, I might get it to bloom again soon. Oh, and regarding the Tephro, Zed. Its on the big white wooden rack. on the lower right. I will try and get out later and take a photo of it. It put out a new segment, this growing season.

Hey gang

I am sorry that I have not been active much of late, but I have been busy with this year's growing season and my husband's immigration. He should be in the USA, Next month. YAY!.

Anyway, I have some photos to share. I had some things die off in the greenhouse over the winter, but other things surprised me with how hardy and resilient they are.

I have some photos here of my greenhouse as it is today, in April 2016. I am including some photos of 2 year old Trichocereus cacti, grown from seed. As a bonus, My Mamilopsis senilis was in bloom today, when I went in the greenhouse. I hear they are an ethnogen, but I have not tried this variety; regardless, It is a show stopper for sure. Enjoy!

Just read through all of this, fantastic plants! Really cool to see the progression.

You're definitely doing stuff right.

You're big trich has gotten huge! That pup really took off! Did it grow much on the original stock as well?

Honey your green house is amazing :jawdrop:



You've done a great job and inspired me to organize mine so it's easier to work in :grin:





Keep up the great work and keep them pictures coming! I hope all goes well with your husbands immigration, I would imagine where he's from you won't have any issues getting and keeping him here :super:





BTW you still wanna give me a soul reading?

Re: Kizatz's Greenhouse. [Re: spaceman101]
    #23201736 - 05/08/16 09:49 AM (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hello everyone. I have been busy with the start of this year's growing season. Lots of things needed separated and repotted. All along with that, I have been dealing with immigration for my husband. I am sorry that I have not been as active, but I do have some things to share.

The first one is here a one year old Trichocereus pachanoi, from seed.



The next image is of my mini Kanna -colony. Its showing some acid metabolism and looks a bit scraggley but its honestly pretty healthy



This next plant has me all excited (does happy dance). This is one of my Trichocereus huascha, (red). It is putting out a crazy number of pups. There are at least 5 pups in this photo



On the south side of my greenhouse I made a couple earth-berm raised beds. I have some exotic vegetables growing there. This image is of some Chinese vegetable seed. was labled as: (Chinese cabbage "or" Gai-lan".



Everyone always likes my Trichos, So I decided to give some of my (first) trichos new homes in larger appx 3-5 gallon containers. This one looks quite happy. it is starting to streach and grow upward finally rather than bloat and look like a cactus-ball. lol



I know this image will excite some people. As a Shaman, it is important to me to grow many kinds of sacred plants including trees. In this photo are my Boswellia nana - (Dwarf Socotra Frankincense) and a Bursera species, (Copal) from Oaxaca mexico. I also purchased A Myrrh tree this spring. A Commiphora pyracanthoides (fire-myrrh), but it is not in the photo.



This marks the first whole year, I have had this trio of, Lophophora (texanas). They did ok during the winter, however the one on the lower right, got a (spot) of orange-rot. Most likely caused by a fungus gnat. I let this group get a bit wet too long  for a couple days last December and learned that (moist) soil can make your "yotes" go downhill fast! I ended up using nfz puffer (for cats and dogs), on the affected area. I covered the mushy orange spot with (Nitrofurazone). Now, a few months later its recovered, and the orange spot has turned into a rough brown plant scab. . yay. it survived.



This next image is of my Lophophora decipiens. a bud began to form a day or 2 ago when I had it on the windowsill, So I decided to move the plant outside to the greenhouse so it could get some sun and perhaps benefit from insect pollenation. I have noticed that this variety is self fertile. this plant has bloomed and set self fertile seed pods before. I have several small self-seeded "clones" from this plant.

http://

This pot by my front door was raved by many years of icy winters that have cracked the glaze. Its nice having it by my front door. perfect place for my edible- Carpobrotus edulis (hottentot fig), and sempervivum "merlin"s . lol



I put a few plants on my cold frame so that they would benefit from more daytime sunlight. See if you can guess some of these varieties without looking at the tags. Also, the one on the right side of the photo that is purple, is my oldest cactus. It is COVERED in pups and bloom buds. I was telling my husband that it looks like a crown, or maybe a birthday cake, since all the budlets make it look like candles



This next one is one of my aloes. This variety is an Aloe arborescens. this variety will eventually form a woody stem and turn into a small tree with squid like aloe rosettes at the ends of branches. It is also a species that has medicinal properties similar to Aloe-vera/ (barbadensis).



These 2 trees are Willow Acacia, or (Acacia Salicina). Apparently it is one of the acacia species that can contain DMT and other alkaloids. This is the second year for these 2 trees, and I will have to divide the 2 of them later this season, and give them individual pots.



The last image in this update is of a couple Trichocereus species I have. they are also some of the first Trichos' I have tried growing from seed. The yoghurt cups have seedlings for (red flower pyrethrim chrysanthamum). In the background of the photo behind the cyclone fence, on the right, is a Titan arum / Amorophallus species that a friend of mine who works at a dispensory, gave to me as a gift. If it blooms I will make sure to take photos. It seems to like the spot I put it in. well drained, warm, moist fair amount of light, and sheltered, so. . lets cross fingers and hope it blooms outdoors in the yard. LOL.



And Spacey, hun.. if you want me to do a (reading) for you, I am more than willing to do that for you. PM me more about Oracle-readings. :wink:

Oh wow, that Gymnocalycium on the right side with all the flowers is so gorgeous! I didn't know it could live on it's own roots, I have a grafted purple on just like it that had a nice bud that I accidentally murdered by repotting it.
It's making more now, and some pups! Which I'm totally going to attempt to root on their own.
I have an orange one as well but I much prefer the purple one, but I want the Hylocereus stock that it's attached to.

Fantastic collection!

Hey there The-r3dz

Yeah the (purple)Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. friedrichii  can make their own nutrients unlike the:(reds, yellow, white) ones. in the purple color varient there is quite a range from green and purple to deep plum color.

Most of the purple ones should root fairly easily from pup. I just lay mine on wet sandy potting soil. Yeah I may get some flak from some people about cacti on  potting soil, but it works for root set. I just amend mine and add a fair amount of sand too. That way, the container can retain some moisture yet drain well.

I'm totally going to see if the pups will root on their own. Thanks for the advice!
It's interesting that you use potting soil for rooting! I like it, no flak here :lol:

I have trouble finding potting soil that isn't peat moss but I use it for my trichs at about 50%

yeah.. I mean I wouldn't keep a cactus in peat based soil forever, but it works till roots have set. At least, that's what I do. After that I repot and put into soil that has more gravel and limestone, pumice, etc.

That's pretty interesting, it seems like the cactus really doesn't care that much as long as there is some sort of terrestrial material that it can cling on to.

Hey gang. Here is what's growing next to the greenhouse this summer.
Inca purple corn, and Chenopodium capitatum. There are also some cucumbers, marigolds, and Chinese mustard greens.

That is Beautiful Miss. Kay  :bow2:




BTW I have a question you may be able to answer. Have you ever seen any Blue or purple SWEET corn? I've really been looking for a blue sweet corn but I have yet to find anything :justdontknow:


Purple is close enough to Blue for me but I have a plan to gather a certain few colors of sweet corn in hopes to make some cash selling edible arrangements on certain holidays to match the colors :wink:



I'll tell you my plan in PM if you care to know I just didn't wanna place it flat out on the forum for everyone else to steal and use their selves :mad:    :rofl:

Heya Spacey.

I suggest Hopi blue. . you can find it in some of the heirloom places around the net and in catalogues. I look forward to getting my hands on some Oaxacan Green corn :eek:

Please let me know how the poppies do, spacey. I have a small number of poppies this year. my husband got me some poppy seed from some English garden poppies, and am starting them and some Turkish blues.

Damn Thank You Zap! That actually answered a couple questions I had about flowering poppies. Sadly I got started late this year and have Clay for soil :facepalm:


I'm not expecting enough to test 2 or 3 times but I'm Praying for the best this year if the Earth Gods will it :jointsmile:

They don't need that good of soil and have shallow roots. Next year break that shit up, throw in a bag or two of potting soil and some extra perlite for a decent top coat and you'll be fine. But yeah, the trick is starting early. In some climates that means sowing in fall, for me it's late winter. I usually start in February and just sow a few here and there through march until I have the coverage I want. If you want some seeds next fall hit me up.

How long do the seeds take to germinate?  I had some pods that I broke up and spread around a couple of areas maybe 2 weeks ago.  It's got weeds and such but I did put down a bunch of seeds.  They don't appear to be the Oriental type so I hold hope they may be the better type.  This is a new place for me.

I'm building a pond/greenhouse, pretty stoked.  Got much of it dug, pond kit is in, got single wide mobile home trusses, gonna go with the polycarbonate double wall 8 mm.  Using 2 ft tall sections of painted hardipanel to hold the dirt in then going up from there.  Pond to be 7x1l ish.  I want to have a deep end.  Going to incorporate the lining into the waterfall so that area may be widening out early then dropping again into the deep pool.  Gonna also use the polycarbonate for the other walls and have an entrance with a locking door so it's gonna be enclosed and very cool.  I am thinking about raising Mozambique tilapia.

Hi everyone,
I might be getting my first little greenhouse soon. A 2x2x2m one that looks pretty much exactly like the one in the OP.

I was wondering though, if you're building this type of greenhouse on concrete ground, do you need to secure it with bolts into the concrete or is its own weight enough to prevent it from being blown by the wind?

I'd not risk one unsecured.

The methods used will depend on the base/plinth of your specific greenhouse, if one is provided, and what work will be needed to prepare the ground.

A common simple way is concrete/postcrete plugs holding the corner anchors of the base.
Once that is in level and square (remember to measure diagonals!) then the greenhouse frame is constructed up from it.

To Answer Mean Green's Question.

I Leveled the floor. (super important to have a "plumb"-level floor.). otherwise when you put in the furniture and racks tables etc. . the floor might be uneven

Second. .I built a Frame for the base out of some 4"x4" pressure treated fence stud. and put in some metal joiners in the corners, and then I assembled the greenhouse around the base-frame. In the last few years the greenhouse has withstood some rather heavy windstorms. I have had a couple panels come off the roof, and have had to to put them back on. I do suggest, that if you purchase from Harbor freight, Buy extra clips. for the frame. You will need them

Time for an update.

I had some time to take a few photos for everyone to enjoy. We had a very cold hard winter this last 2016-2017. Some of my plants died off, but others survived the cold. Here are some of my plants coming out of dormancy, and flowering

The first one is one of my Trichocereus bridgesii.


The second is my Mamilopsis senelis. This is its second year blooming for me. It actually started blooming on Easter and has been blooming into May.


The: third, fourth, fifth, and sixth photos are of my Silene capensis  that I have grown from seed. The first flower opened on the night of the first quarter moon in may 2017. The 3rd photo I took, and "Mr.K." took the 4th,5th,and 6th. I think Mr.K's photos turned out better than mine. Lol.








The last 2 images are of my greenhouse post winter die-off. My Pachanois are growing pretty tall now which is making me smile, but still now pachanoi flowers yet. 





hope you all enjoy
Miss K'

Well, My gardenia bloomed today. I got a couple photos of it, for you to enjoy.


and a closeup of the flower


I thought I would also include a photo of an Opuntia species, that I got from a friend. She has said, that her mother (collected) the original parent plant for the variety, from some military base in Texas where she was stationed (YEARS ago), like more than 40 years ago. LOL.  I have lovingly decided to name this variety in my collection, "Juliet".

Thanks for the kind words, Zed. Yeah. this is the second year in a row, that my Mam-Senilis has bloomed. I am getting better at giving my plants a winter rest, and not over watering during dormancy. I had a big die off, this last winter. We had one of the wettest winters in about a century. Some of my more tropical plants died, but the more hardy ones like my lophs and most of my Gymnocalyciums survived. Sadly, the purple phase (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. friedrichii) that I had for over 20 years passed away, but not before she gave me one last seed pod. her children are starting life on my windowsill for another generation.

Regarding your questions P-Zap', It is a 10'x12' greenhouse from Harbor freight tools. It came in boxes and pieces, and my father helped me build it. It is NOT heated, so plants that are not cold tolerant have to be brought inside. On hot days 80-90f, it can get like 120f inside the greenhouse. LOL. So, I often open the door during the afternoon, on nice days.

I can say a few things about this type of pre-fab greenhouse: 1.) Make sure your foundation is LEVEL, If you pour a concrete slab. or do a flat sand floor make sure you get a level make sure your foundation is plumb-level, or else when you put in your floor stones, or racks, your racks will not sit square on the floor. 2.) Get extra clips. You can buy extra clips to hold in the polycarbonate panels. I suggest getting an extra bag of them, because you can have a wind storm that will blow out a panel and you will need them to put the panel back on. 3.) Lastly, regarding the foundation, make sure that you have some sort of secure foundation especially if you live in an area that gets winds over 50mph. my foundation is a square made of pressure treated fence post, and the aluminum/sheet steel base is secured to the foundation square.

And, thank you very much Dirty Tom. :smile:

Howdy all. I wanted to pop in a photo of a very special plant with a story.


These little plants are an Allium species. I am not exactly sure what kind of wild Onion they are. However, when they Bloom I might have a better idea as to the species. I have several options as to what it might be based on the location they were collected. My husband and I do some responsible collecting of wild plants. Usually we only collect seeds, but last summer we were spending some time on the Wilson river In Western Oregon, when I stepped on something that gave off a very intense fragrance of ONION. I looked down to find a large colony of wild onions. I only took a few bulbs because I did not want to disturb the natural environment too much.

Its possible that they could be: Allium bisceptrum, Allium parvum, Allium siskiyouense,or Allium unifolium.

I suppose the color of the flowers will help, when it blooms. Also I can say that they are not "ramps" because there is no red on the bulblets. I'll come back later then the flower bundles open. With a photo or two. I would appreciate any help keying this species as right now I am just going to call it Allium Sp. (wilson river).

I'm not 100% on it but I know we have them down here so bad they're IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of :shakefist: and they make your hands (if you get the tiniest dab of the juice on you) smell overwhelmingly STRONG for hours :facepalm:


I'll try to find the genus and species :wink:

Hello people.

I thought I would post this here in my thread, because Kanna is not really a cactus..LOL. This is the first time I have been able to get the plant to bloom. I thought you all might want to see what the flowers and growth habit are like. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy.

Mine is flowering for the 1st time right now too, such a blessing. There's been a bit of talk about Kanna in this thread lately in case you missed it.
Hope you'll get a great season and that we get to see many nice pics of the greenhouse

Good job getting the Kanna to flower.
I have just set some old Kanna seeds and to my suprise some germinated.
I hope they can grow into something like your Kanna plants, that would be wonderful.

You have very much nice plants and a wonderful greenhouse.
Thanks for sharing.
