Dendrobium aberrans, Gastrochillus, Vanda-types and Saccolabium are growing plenty of new root and leaves, but Bulbophyllums didn’t grow very well.

So you have to deside what kind of orchids you want. Then you build best possibly orchidarium for them. I did exactly opposite.

I removed the automatic rainsystem and now I’m testing ultrasonic water fogger.
Thanks for the information Ludisia, did you try setting the rain system so that it came on only once a day or once every few days so as to allow the plants to dry in between?
