Default Nearly Killed Samera

Well it's been a few days since I think I cold and water shocked my Samera (which was blooming btw!). The damage done to the leaves is pretty bad but it doesn't seem to be getting worse at least.

However, I have helped myself through this difficult time by having Peter send me a new Samera. This time I'm planting as I should have the other...in sh like I know how to grow these Phals.




A round hole has been cut from this wine bottle (1.5 liter) and the rest prepared for growing this plant in sh. It'll spend the foreseeable future on a seeding mat in my grow tent.

Thank God for retail therapy.

Thanks, joy and yes he does!

Neil, do you mean when drinking your own wine, or that I repurpose these things all the time? Lol. Look closely, this time I cut out just a circle in the bottle... It's a trial to see how the plant likes it this way...better or worse. I bite better... Keeps up local humidity and darn easy to fill up!

Both, but I initially meant that wine. The barefoot brand. hahaha

I like the barefoot brand-- pretty good value in my book!

Oh and yes, Joy, it came with a spike! YEAY!

How do you make the cuts in the glass? That is very neat.

With a dremel and a diamond cutting wheel. Took about five minutes. A little longer than usual because I need a new wheel.
