Does this setup look suitable for bulbos?
 
So recently I have acquired a bunch of bulbos. I havent heard back from the seller yet, so Id like to get your ideas and criticisms on how they are being kept.

The ones in question are:

B. ambrosia
trichosephalum
capillipes
sessile
glebulosum
alagense large and small form

I have them mounted 2 ways...in a mini tank, and in a humidity dome.

Here are the ones in the mini tank...the top is about 3-4 inches from a T12 shoplight...some i mounted to lfs and some i just "tied" to the corkbark, im not sure which way Im supposed to have it....

The ones not in the tank I have mounted ("floss-tied") to either cork or epiweb. I have no lfs under any of these...these are in a 100% humidity dome a good distance away from a T10 bulb.

Some immediate questions...

1) do i need to have lfs under all of them
2) how often do i mist them
3) do i need to hang them or can they rest on the floor on the cork like that
4) what type of water should i spray them with.

Thanks for putting up with my essay!

Looks good, keep the humidity up, don't let them dry out. How are they doing?
