Inventions & Side Projects
Self-watering Zeer pot for Darlingtonia, simpler maintenance environments, Drosera regia setup.
Smaller plant-keeping experiments outside the main highland terrarium. Each project explores a specific cultivation problem with its own purpose-built solution.
Projects
- Self-watering Zeer Pot for Darlingtonia — A passive evaporative cooler housing a Darlingtonia californica root system; cools the roots without electricity by exploiting clay-pot evaporation, with a self-replenishing water reservoir. (Building)
- Drosera regia Setup — Dedicated environment for the King Sundew, which has its own specific requirements distinct from the highland terrarium. (Building)
- Easier Maintenance Environments — Lower-effort enclosures for less demanding species: jars, simple terraria, and containers tuned for hands-off maintenance.
Self-watering Zeer Pot for Darlingtonia
Passive evaporative cooling for the California Pitcher Plant's root zone.
Drosera regia Setup
Dedicated environment for the King Sundew.
Fog Shelves
Glass shelves in the living room — ultrasonic misters on a Raspberry-Pi-driven hysteresis RH loop (~80 %), switched via Tapo P100 plugs, BME280 + SHT35 sensors.
