Hi
Mine is totally random, chaotic would be better as they have no labels, old uns,nursey ones, missing uns, big uns, t labels etc, etc.
My friend BOB always had the label in a set area of the pot so he could return the pot/plant to the same position, it's quite a good habit to have as with Copiapoa's it's easy to scorch them if you move them around.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

I'm sorry to say mine is totally random too. I have so little space left, and water from below in the central tray so plants get moved about a lot.

I would be happy to do that, Stephen - over 3000 plants incl over 350 Copiapoas of various sizes.

However, I do agree with anTTun that there should be a dedicated place on this Forum for members to show their greenhouses and the ways and means they use to grow their plants. This could even show pictures of cactus/succulent nurseries (given the proprietor's permission and assuming no contravention of Forum regulations). I feel that this would be interesting to everybody and could produce constructive Q & A's.

This thread was already close to vanishing out of sight when this was written so something permanent would I feel, be beneficial.

One only has to note that at this time there have been 1354 views to recognise the depth of interest in the topic

I also use tag to know 'right side' of the pot/plant. The face of the tag faces the sun, doesnt matter if its in front or behind the plant.

Very, very nice, and very tidy greenhouse Paul D :)
