Greenhouse: Pool Bubble Greenhouse, 1 by JPlunket

Our use of the bubble as a greenhouse has been very successful, though it's clearly not ideal for all species or all purposes --the humidity keeps everything WET, leaves, stems and soil, EVERYTHING.

We spray all our plants before they enter the bubble with insecticide and antifungus, which prevents most problems for most plants.

Successes have included: hibiscus, oleander, alocasia, colocasia, asparagus fern, banana, areca palm, cycad palm, bower vine, jasmine, mandevilla, passiflora, and spider plant.

We've lost a few species rather dramatically --crotons HATE it for some reason, and drop 100% of their leaves almost immediately, and die shortly afterward. Amazonica faded fast.

Here are a couple shots ... first, entering through the bubble zipper...
