Which orchids for my enclosed setup?
Hi everyone,
I have a 36x18x24 inch ExoTerra glass terrarium with LEDs that I've decided to devote to orchids. This enclosure is in my converted attic office, so I should be able to experience some good day/night temperature differences. There are so many orchids to learn about, and I'm just starting out! I think my biggest constraints will be temperature and height, as the terrarium won't allow for super-tall flower spikes. Relatively compact orchids may be best. Can you help me pick the best genera for my parameters?
The tank will have multiple levels of egg crate.
Light output: ranges from 20,000 Lux (at the top) to 3,000 Lux (near the bottom).
Humidity: around 50-70% with current pebble trays.
Temperatures: 85/70F (summer) and 75/60F (winter)
