Update:

The large tomato plan is now growing three tomatoes, all of which are still green. Many flowers remain on this large plant. The smaller plant is now beginning to flower as well. Both will be moved to a larger pot or even perhaps outside as conditions allow. All plants are watered with fish and frog tank water. This should be a good source of nitrates.


The smallest orchid, order placed about 6 months ago, has been placed in a moss and fern terrarium. It is doing very well, obviously because of the increased humidity. Two other orchids will likely be placed in larger terrariums in time.

A series of tropical plant cuttings are being cultured in lettuce containers. These plants are able to root in standing water very quickly, and even recover from significant infections of most of the plant. Hope to see flowers some day.
