# Thought I’d share my current setup for my south sun lovers. I was…

_Posted by Adrian on 2024-08-20_

Thought I’d share my current setup for my south sun lovers. I was looking for something to give my jade, Elena, some more space, and decided to get shelves rather than try extending the original windowsill (and honestly, I love the excuse to get more plants now that I have more space 👀) It’s called the Sumerflos 3-Tier Acrylic Window Plant Shelves on Amazon. It’s currently $30 but I got it on sale for $26. You do have to assemble it yourself, and some drilling is required (it was pretty easy into plaster, but you’ll have to get separate parts if you’re drilling into wood or metal), but otherwise it was pretty simple to put together.

(Note: I just added the peperomia in the middle shelf so it wasn’t empty. They stay firmly in my north windowsills)

What a coincidence! I was just on Amazon looking for shelving and came across this one. I added it to my save for later as I continue to look and debate but seeing the post has me sold on it!

Awesome! As a tip though, definitely watch the tutorial video when making it, and use a real level instead of the mini one they give you. It’s a lot easier to tell if the shelves are level that way.

Thanks for that tip I could see how frustrating that would be, which was part of my hesitation

What is the middle plant on the left that looks like a cluster of leaves in a rope?

#### Adrian replied on 2024-09-02

It’s called a sedum morganianum! It’s a cousin of sedum burrito/burro’s tail. Very delicate leaves, but when they fall off they propagate so easily. Her name’s Xochi ☺️ she’s a trailing succulent.
