Tiny Tim's pots-in-bags water trick

#TheSagaOfTinyTim well I have had a couple friends ask me why I put tiny nepenthes in pots in bags on pants clippy hangers at an an angle… to quickly and easily see the water level inside at all times and how clear it is or if it needs to be changed😬 murky water is a good indication there’s something not right going on in the bag but it keeps any bacteria seperate from the other gestating babies. Some sediment is normal, it’s brand new media mixed up just for them. But there’s a method to my madness I swear! Sometimes… #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #ShareYourProcess #MakingSpaceWhereThereIsNone #propogationstation

This is so cool! I should try that, awesome idea 😊
@tango thanks! It’s a combination of methods I read online pretty much πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ took a hit of fiddling but I have a good system now. I moved them from the top of the greenhouse to the side rail though because I kept bumping into them πŸ˜…
@PoisonIvys they’re so pretty! jealous of that greenhouse… πŸ‘€πŸ˜
@tango it was $80 from Kogan!! I bought 2 😬 now I have sweet talked my mother into converting half the 2 car garage into a plants n chill room πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜
@tango I will also be selling off Tim’s babies in a couple months, depending on how many take πŸ˜… currently there’s 17 and 4 are earmarked for me. Tim’s Tip and the leaf he grew after coming to me that I accidentally Broiled πŸ˜… plus number 13 and 17 just coz 😊 let’s see how many I lose! Single node cuts all the way coz if I’m gonna cut poor Tim I’m also gonna get the most out of it 😝
@tango so the side rail tilted the bags enough that a couple were popped open this afternoon, here’s the latest greenhouse edit. I do really like seeing them all at a glance like this though 🀣 better than when they were up high
@PoisonIvys ah if only!! plants n chill room sounds amazing 😊

good luck with the babies! that’s a lot of cuttings 🀩

oops! ohhh interesting i see how they hang now 😁
@tango oh good! It can be hard to see exactly what’s happening in some pics 😊 I put one either side to balance, if I have a single to hang I use a peg
Morning humidity check πŸ‘Œ everyone is looking snug. Not a lot to see really but I seriously love that it can be done at a glance! A quick check like reading spines of a book and done. And it started as a convenient place until I could get something permanent but I think I’m just going to leave them there.
