Entrance corridor

Makespace has a soil bed (ca. three by half a meter) along the entrance corridor from the outer main door. The downside of this area is that it is fairly dim, hence plants have to be chosen carefully so they don't just die off! The soil is super dry and does not soak up water easily, which makes watering a bit tricky (if you are not careful, you might even wash away the plants!). For now the plants should be watered at least once or twice per week, whenever the top soil looks completely dried out again.

Contents

The bed is currently planted with (from left to right) an onion, garlic, and lots of little spider plants (two of which are variegated).

Last watered

  • Wednesday 5 June

Suggestions/thoughts for other plants

  • ivy?
  • dracena (dragon tree)
  • aloe/cactus
  • generally plants with large deep-green leaves...
  • Hanging baskets on top?

Kitchen

Contents

Three pots of spider plants (all variegated) along the shelf above the kitchen worktop.

Makespace has some spider plants.

The plant pots may eventually become part of the Internet Of Things, reporting their hydration level.

One or more might become suspended on monorails running along the cabling track in the main space, if no-one objects.

There are many ceiling beams from which hanging baskets could be suspended.

Last watered

  • Saturday 23 March
  • Tuesday 2 April

More plants?

  • in the meetspace?
  • in the mainspace? (fewer but large tree-ish plants?)
  • probably none in the workshop:)
