Dark Tree Hollow Greenhouse (Concave dome 8.8 x15.75 inch)
Storybook Greenhouse. Storybook pieces are sculpted works of art that depict a magical scene from nature.
"Encased within the cloche, the hand-sculpted moss pole rises like a twisted, enchanted tree, its bark curling with an eerie elegance. Dark tendrils wind around, while delicate, ghostly butterflies rest upon the trunk"
the moss pole itself is unglazed. the base and handle is glazed.
This piece can be used for epiphytic plants such as mini orchids as well as pinguiculas. This is a more unconventional way of growing pings vertically, using humidity to provide extra moisture versus bottom watering. I've tried this greenhouse method for the past 6 months and it was quite successsful. To feed pings in a greenhouse, you can uncover it for a period of time or feed dried bloodworms, fish food, or diluted foliar fertilizer such as Maxsea every 2-3 weeks.
directions: gather sphagnum moss, tweezer, and chopsticks to assist you. insert moist sphagnum moss into the pole and use chopsticks to pack it in. Wrap the roots of each ping with a bit of sphagnum moss. Use the tweezers to grab and push them neatly into the openings. Water from the top as needed, or spray the moss as needed. Moisture will escape slowly from the cloche (it is not a tight seal).
flaws to note: I discounted the piece for a long crack that showed up on the base which I have mended using a waterproof sealant. Shown in the last photo with a red circle indicating the affected area. The sealant blends nicely into the piece and is virtually unoticeable.
approximate dimensions:
total Height from base to highest point of handle, 22 inches,
glass dome: 15.75 inch H, 8.8 inch opening
Moss Pole: 10 inch H, 2.5-3.5 W
I will have to send this piece in two package, one with glass, one with base.
