The Artic Light Time-Lapse

Lovely. I want one of the tools they use to slowly pan the camera to create this video – whatever it is. The Arctic Light from TSO Photography on Vimeo.

Carolina jasmine

This is my 2nd plant to flower. And unlike the paperwhite narcissus – I really like this smell. I have this plant blockaded so that the cat cannot eat it – its poisonous. The flower snuck up on me, or I’d have done a time-lapse video of it opening. I expect it to flower further, [...]

Narcissus Paperwhite Timelapse

This is my first flower since I started my indoor growing hobby a few months ago. Apparently paperwhites only take 2-3 weeks to bloom. Mine took a couple months. And I’ve read that giving the bulbs a bit of alcohol will help prevent the plants from getting too tall and falling over. This video is [...]

Peace lilies are reported to be good at cleaning the air. More bulbs (narcissus and hyacinth) More bulbs (narcissus and hyacinth) Hyacinth bulbs More [...]

Seeds in Deco Beads

The clear beads have a combination of four o’ clock and sweet pea seeds. Both seem to have sprouted, and rather quickly. The green beads are filled with… candytuft, and they just started sprouting. I should probably filter some of the water out of that one. I’ve seen a few seeds drop to the bottom [...]

Aeroponics

Aeroponics is a system developed by Nasa to be used in space, as there is no soil involved at all. This is a small system, but from reviews its relatively noisy. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9863440&sourceid=1500000000000003260370&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=9863440 And there’s things like this: http://aeroponicsnmore.com/aeroponics-systems-c-3/rainforest-36-six-3-in-site-aeroponics-system-p-141 Apparently soil is becoming a thing of the past. Who knew.

Bonsai

I am going to attempt to grow a few bonsai trees. At least until I decide its too much trouble or too difficult. I ordered a few seeds recently, including: – Chinese Juniper The Chinese Juniper is a classic Bonsai. The Wisteria below would be fun, as they apparently are fragrant as well. Watch the [...]

Moving Art

This is art deco beads expanding and contracting with the water level. Two hyacinth bulbs are sitting near the top. Apparently these bulbs can take a while to root. I’m on day two.

Art

This is water absorbing “Deco Beads”, with a couple of hyacinth bulbs. I have my Olympus C-770 digital camera (its a few years old) hooked up to the computer, taking 1 picture every 60 seconds. If those bulbs sprout, it might look cool. If they don’t, it’ll be a lot of me refilling the glasses [...]

Spider Mites

Stargate is on. Scientist girl just fired a bazooka for the kill. Here are some spider mite pictures before I sprayed the plant heavily. I may have killed that plant, and a few others around it (sensitive plants). Hard to determine cause of death with these plants.
