Masd Redshine (Falcon Sunrise x Marguerite)
Masd Myck Santos x pachyura
Pleurothallis tribuloides
The problem with this tank is that it heats up fast.
All of them are happy except for Masd bonplandii, which is showing many signs of stress. I probably should take this one out and grow it with my paphs actually. It could be heat related, air circulation or light requirements. Based on the tere shaped foliage I would say that it requires more light than my other masd.
The middle of the tank has three ice packs which I change daily.
I used to have Cischweinfia dasyandra and Leochilus carinatus in there mounted. I took the Cischweinfia out because I knew it needed more air circulation because of some spots the base of the leaf, and I took the Leochilus out with it although it seems fine. |
Fren,
looks better than my 3fter does
but I couldn't imagine having to replace three ice packs a day
I agree with Tindo.. I think you need a little fan in there,
you could also possibly have a fan blowing against the lights above to blow away hot air..
Some very dedicated people even plumb in cold air
from outside
Is that sphagnum moss around the pots, filling up the tank?
Does keeping that moist help cool the pots much you think?
No pest problem? I'm going crazy over having to have sprayed for aphids again today
