Default Orchidarium video

HEre is a video of the orchidarium. I like it cause it gives me views I could not usually see since the camera can fit into places my head cannot.

Ingenious! I feel like an ant crawling through the jungle, complete with predators.

Neat technology. If I ever get mine done I might try this as well. Thanks for showing us your setup Tin.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Nice job Tindo, made me . How ever I have a bunch of questions.

I noticed your temp/humidity reader was reading 87.? & 64 %. However there seemed be be alot of water on the glass. How accurate is your reader & how much do you trust it? I have two of one brand & one of another - none of them agree with the other. I never know which to believe.

Is the enclosure bought or made? and then you filled it in.

How do you change the water? How do you water??

I think hydrometers are all approximations. I have two in the same spot and they read differently. Sometimes they underestimate humidity because I can smell it with my nose.

Yes, sometimes they are inaccurate. Psychrometers are more correct.
