Dry air environments can be challenging but I use humidity trays and humidifiers to supplement conditions.The only problem with fridges is that I believe they also dry the air while providing cool relief for plants. Will be anxious to see your set-up. Good luck!

Hey, that would be great. I bought what is effectively a glass bell jar this weekend and put Drac under it on a small bowl of pebbles with water in it for humidity, as well as adding a small ice pack. I'll need to find a small thermometer I can put in there as well and see what kind of temps I can obtain. Just touching the glass, I would say it's about 50° or so at the moment. I need to find a bigger one though, as a couple of the leaves are touching the glass and I'm guessing that won't be helpful.
