Did you read my article on setting up an orchidarium?
http://www.orchidboard.com/Setting-u...om-Orchidarium Once you decide the group you want to persue, then that will dictate the temps and humidity you need to provide. I decided on Angraecoides, early on. So I needed to be able to provide really high humidity and average temperatures (65-80 F) If you have the space and want to go after larger plants that are not so humidity demanding, then you'll need a really big tank, but the seal won't be so critical. Get it? Ask away.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
