Been climbing the ladder again (even though I am actually forbidden to get on the ladder...oh no, wait, I can get on the ladder as long as I don;t have a running chainsaw in my hand...) installing new crossbars in the attic to hang more stuff from.

Was able to spread things out, hang more up. Since my ground space is all spoken for, its up or nothing.
Next up...re-mulching all the paths and pressure washing the walls.

Coming through the door

Finally attached this unidentified Philodendron to a totem

And still had time to sprout some Anthurium scandens berries LOL(cute little buggers aren;t they?)

Cleared out a corner here to refresh the look. Took out this 10+ ft Monstera in 3 pieces (this is #1)

And wrapped it around a tree

Remulched the floor and cleared out most of the potted plants that usually hang out up here

After I Physan and pressure wash off the walls, I will repopulate it with new stuff

Well I have been working hard. I got 5 big totems installed in the front corner for my little orphan climbers to grow on, and installed a concrete block epiphyte house for some stuff.

Already attached a few things to these totems. While I was up on the ladder I took a couple pics of the general goings on that give Chaos House its name. Mainly, well, chaos.

And across the way in the other front corner area, I installed another totem for some stuff. Got my Anthurium polyschistum attached, a well rooted cutting of Philo White Wizard from my mama plant, an Amydrium medium I got on a trade a few months ago that is finally looking like it might actually grow, a Philodendron verrucosum top cutting I had to take off another plant that had reached the top of its totem and was floating around in space

It is about 1740 sq ft. I have frogs, toads and snakes. No lizards LOL. I have a BIG black snake that lives in here. We call them black racers. And lots of small green tree frogs, and some aquatic frogs. And some toads that like in holes
