There is a heating element built in the bottom of the tray which is controlled by some electronics which switch on when the temperature drops below 10C and off again when it rises above 12C. I switched that on a couple of days ago as yesterday saw the first frost of Autumn followed by another this morning :
There are a couple of Lithops with white flowers trying to bloom. I just hope we get enough Sunlight to encourage them to open. To give an idea of size - the Lithops plants are in 2inch (50mm) pots.
I love these John. I have read about Lithops but never actually seen any.
ReplyDeleteWeaver: My second attempt. First one, years ago, was a disaster.
DeleteFascinating plants, John. Not a plant I've every grown. You've got a great variety there and by looking at your photos you are clearly looking after them well :-)
ReplyDeleteShirley: They are fascinating, especially the way new growth appears from the centre and uses the old growth as food. I lost about three young ones and one larger one this year but otherwise I am getting better at seeing to their needs.
DeleteI love that tray and the cunning computer set up
ReplyDeleteSimon: Both bought on eBay. Some fascinating electronics about these days.
DeleteNice looking set up. You've really them going well now.
ReplyDeleteWilma: I'm gradually getting their conditions correct.
