Just got this drac at a show, Never had one. Do you think this setup could work? Ive noticed brown spots on the leave's but they might have been there when i got it, it's was pretty wrapped up! Should I leave the humidifier on all the time or turn it on and off?

I love the ingenuity! But sadly no, your plant's roots will probably rot out. Humidity needs to be high, but so does air movement and the accompanying relief from the mold that comes with such humidity. I don't think such a set up affords such relief.

Guess I need to stop impulse buying plant's I dont have the environment for....!

Get the tank up quick! And yes, impulse buying of difficult to care for plants without the proper environment can prove deadly. For the plants. Otherwise, just keep moist but not soaking wet.

Oh, well then let me welcome you to the neighborhood! And I definitely have to plug the Heart O' Texas Orchid Society. You should come out and join us when you get a chance! We meet on every first Tuesday at Zilker Botanical Gardens. Here is the website: Heart O' Texas Orchid Society - Home Hopefully I'll see you next month!
