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

  • Tuesday 26 March

Suggestions/thoughts for other plants

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

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

More plants?

  • in the meetspace?
  • in the mainspace? (fewer but large tree-ish plants?)
