Hi all, I'm new to this forum but have been growing orchids for several years. Until recently I have been rescuing random noids from grocery store clearance shelves. I've had decent success growing and reblooming them, so recently I decided to take it up a notch and built an indoor pvc humidity tent so that I can keep more exotic species.
If you look at the top you can see the pvc
misting pipe. The whole thing is being lit by a Maxspect Razor 160w light. Here's a closer look at both:
It's really quite an amazing light. Fully programmable so you can simulate a shift of spectrum and intensity to give a fantastic dawn to dusk effect. The plants love it too, and have been growing amazingly under it. It's actually much brighter than the photographs show, in fact I don't even run it at full intensity for fear of providing too much light.
The mist is produced by a walgreens ultrasonic humidifier which I glued pvc couplers to with silicone adhesive.
In addition to my noid oncidiums, I have acquired an assortment of bulbophyllum. I've been trying to focus on pleasantly fragrant varieties. So far I have a B. lobbii, a B. ambrosia, and an Elizabeth Anne.
And also a dendrobium rigidum
So that's my current setup and slowly growing collection. Hope you all enjoyed it
