It's going to be a ceilingmounted plant terrarium.
With some hardscaping and maybe a little waterfeature for humidity.

I want it beside a window for natural sunlight. Thus a turning ceiling mount, so it can be turned inwards for viewing.

Got ten Nepenthes. They are quite small, so there's no hurry with this project.
There's some engineering with the mount and the doors.
It also needs some buffing.
And then there's the hardscape to be made.

I'm havin' a bit difficulties in deciding what kind of equipmentry I need for this thing, so I started from creating a scape to see what is perhaps needed.
This is what it turned out:


There's about 15 separate planters built in the stump and rockwall.

Next, lighting and water circulation...
