MINI Orchids - Help please~
Hello everyone,
I just joined the forum and got some questions for my new addition - mini orchids.
I built a 100 gallon terrarium recently because I felt so bad about leaving them outside (we’re in TX…) My orchids seem to enjoy the new home so I decided to add a few more.
Here is the list of my new addition of the mini orchids (those are not shown in the pictures, yet):
Epigeneium nakaharai
Epidendrum longirepens
Lepanthes scalaris
A little background about my terrarium:
1.) Lighting: T5 Grow Light 2 Ft 4 Tubes Hydroponic Light System (total 8,000Lum, 6,500K white, 4x27 watts) about 12 hrs in fall, 11.5hrs winter, 15.5hrs spring & 14hrs in summer
2.) Humidity: between 50-70, I installed a fogger system it’s on every hour from 6am-6pm for 12 min, every other hour at night for 10 min. I also place some humidity trays but having a hard time to get the consistent humidity over 70%
3.) Temperature: 86 degrees/daytime; 72 degrees/night (winter 68 degrees)
4.) A computer fan at the top of the screen running 24/7
Do you think the mini will do well in the terrarium? Or, does anyone have experience about those mini orchids?? Thanks for the advice!!
