I have a small 8' x 8' orchid greenhouse, built by my younger son and a 20' x 20' for my tropicals. I did have to cram the plants in last winter, but I had some plants that arrived too late for fall planting last year crammed in there too. I have one monstrous plumeria tree and a yellow Cordia lutea http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/68043/ A scarlet Cordia sebestena http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/54472/ all in 24" pots. They will probably graduate into 3-" pots next spring. The rest of my plants are in 18" pots or smaller. This is a photo of my scarlet Cordia in bloom this summer before the grasshoppers ate all the flowers. I was hoping to get some seed this year. |
