| Greetings all,
Thanks much for the many replies.
The chimney and fireplace are quite large, with fireplace (and insert) offset to one side. Additionally, this is a block chimney faced with rock, so there is quite a bit of insulation. Lastly, the flue coming from basement is seldom used, so there is a good bit of surface that would not get overly warm.
I had presumed I could find plants that adapt well to mounting on rock that would also require very frequent misting, rather than drenching, though overall the long-term maintenance probably makes it less than ideal.
Originally, the plan was to put mounted (cork, slab, branches) plants on the chimney, which I will likely do, but the mind wanders to other possibilities, and it never hurts to ask.
Thanks again for the expertise! |
