Here's a better picture! And yes, I have asked my boss for permission.
As you can see, the larger Nepenthes has invaded my co-worker's desk.

I thinned out my Ping terrarium and took the surplus plants to work. They seem to be happy after a few weeks in a west facing window.

Yeah, picture took with my phone ...
I have a bit of work to do to get all the surface covered.
I'm trying to introduce some 'no purple flower' pygmies species in the tank but whitout success at the moment.
Also, there isn't enough light for scorpi who died a dew days ago.

Where do you guys work?! Those are some serious setups! Very nice!

I'm still experimenting with 'light leak' prevention from my cabinet so no pictures yet

@WillyCKH That's a very nice light stand! Did you make it yourself?

Yes I've made it myself! I haven't had time to post the build yet, stay tuned if you're interested.

So I've managed to solve most of the 'light leak' problem. Hopefully it won't attract unwanted attention

Real thing is bright enough I can't look at it. Glad my camera does black magic

Above is taken a few days ago, below is day 1 (from ~3-4 weeks ago?) Succulents do surprisingly well.

It's certainly a concern as I can feel the warmth myself. Lighting is in two phases and I do open it regularly to check on water Christmas is gonna be a big problem though, and I don't have a fix yet

Perhaps bring them home during Christmas break? I need to think about mine too...

Kinda risky when it's below zero outdoors.... Bringing tiny pots home seems feasible though.
First things first, I need to test how fast water dries up.

My plants at work are doing well. It's good to train your co-workers to catch bugs for the plants.
We are moving office in February, so I'm not adding more plants until we are moved to the next place.
By the way, kids love to watch the plants when they are visiting...
