My windowsill gardens

[gardengirl13]

Right now the lights are not up for the orchids, I can't figure out how to do it so it looks ok and doesn't cost a ton of money. For the carnivorous plants I have those clamp style shop lights with the silver metal reflector taken off and just clamped them to the fish tank, then put in a little shelf to raise the plants up to the light.

The vandas might have had tags, they were hanging pretty high up so I couldn't get a good look. All I saw was the price tag of one. In my bedroom I do keep a humidifier going under the window sill all winter long. It keeps them about 30-60% depending on how cold it is out and how much the heat is on. But most days it averages around 45%. With the vandas I also don't really have the the light. I have no south windows and the west windows are basically all claimed right now. At some point if we can figure out space in this tiny house we may still bring in the rack from the old house and set it up for plants with longer lights. But I'm still thinking if we save for a while we can still make the bedroom window a bay window. That would allow me to add probably 5-10 new orchids there and I would see about doing a shelf above the sill too. With it being in the window more with the bay I won't have the issue of worrying about the heavy curtains we have in there so a shelf would work ok I think.
