When the weather allows it, I keep most of my plants outside, so the main picture is a view that shows my balcony from the far end, just to better display the extent of my wife's and mine craziness.

Here are some closeups of different racks and sections - I will properly organize it one day, I'm almost certain of it ;) You can click the embeds for full-res photos.

I also have a rack in the living room, next to the TV, with some lamps: Hot-Mess-10.jpg

That's about it for now, at least until the weekend - might notice some more cute succ-ers when I go grocery shopping or whatever, and as you can clearly see impulse control is not my forte :P

Lovely collection!

Any deliberate setup is as organized as it needs to be - if you ask me!

Thank you! That's the problem though - it's not particularly deliberate - we just put new ones wherever there's still some room left ;)

I did actually order sone color labels yesterday, and I'll be marking and rearranging them according to dormancy periods - it's going to make watering way easier at least.

Love it!! Thanks for posting :) it’s just about as “disorganized” as my own collection, if not less so - it’s tough to keep six bajillion plants all in check. I wish I lived somewhere warm enough to leave my plants outside all year!

In winter I do put the more delicate ones inside and cover the rack to create a mini greenhouse, but with global warming in full swing I might not have to do it for much longer, since Tokyo is turning tropical...
