• outside planter has 3no. japanese sword ferns Polystichum retrosopalaeceum with two alpines called sempervavium, planted into mixture of ericaceous soil and grit for good drainage. plan to collect rain water to ensure regular top up, as tap water is not ideal. Once everything is bedded in shingle cover. the alpine needs to be divided up has loads of buds so need spreading around the ferns. Clearly not house plants (wrong thread obvs), as these can only live outside..

  • Thanks @tinakino.

    Iā€™m on the look out for a long narrow trough planter for my mantelpiece. Ideally L1200mm x D150mm x H150mm.. so that I can have a row of these bad boys

    Possibly converting an aluminium wall mounted light fitting (strip out innards and lamps) but that seems too obvious.
