exoterra small orchid tank

[tmoney]

hi all, finally decided to post a current pic of the terrarium and a plant list. its been going since may, and ive moved a few in and out, gone thru a fan or two, and the super cheap plastic hygrometer i bought and then never replaced it when it died. also had a tube putting mist in there in the mornings, but i pretty quickly stopped that, so that was sort of a waste of money. care is spray most of them each morning, with a total soaking and ferts on most weekend. occasionally i need to pull water out if it’s fertilize and flush week. otherwise, im just letting it go. I have a light about a foot above, with a bunch of plates on top of the tank giving shade. i cut some plastic cabinet liner to put over the screen and reduce water loss, seems to be working good so far.

most of them seemed fairly established if they’ve made it by now, but i just put the phal speciosum in there yesterday, so we’ll see how that does there. the lava burst did give me flowers, which were cool but i didn’t get pics. long lasting, about 8, and more orange than the pics online usually are. otherwise, there is a spike developing here and there, so hopefully i will follow up with some bloom photos.

list:
aerangis ellisii
bulbophylum catanulatum
barbosella handroi
dendro linguiforme
dendrophylax lindenii
diplopora truncata
chelostele maxima reginae
chilochista pusilla
dendro tetragoium giganteum
haraella retrocalla
how. lava burst
phal speciosum
sedirea japonica
tuberolabium kotoense

so that’s the current lineup on the field.
