I found out from reading the AV threads here on DG that I kept losing AVs because my bedroom is too cool for them, winter and summer. So I brought a small greenhouse inside and put my few plants in it and they immediately stopped dying. So I bought more plants which of course made a second greenhouse necessary. I haven't been able to work outside since early in the summer due to illness, but I can putz around with these plants and still get dirt under my fingernails. Things are arranged differently since this picture was taken, with the second greenhouse now filling up with more AV plants instead of seed flats, but you can see my rudimentary setup. The bright windows and the tables from a thrift shop make it work. I have added heat mats also. My AVs are quite healthy now and a great joy. I don't yet have anything as pretty as the pictures you are posting here, but I will have some day.
