Good point, and an interesting idea. There is no reason that I can think of why a vivarium couldn't be set up to mimic the wet and dry seasons in Brazil. Antii, you could probably grow quite a few of the small-growing Cattleyas that share aclandiae's taste for dryish winters. Walkeriana and nobilior in particular would likely do well in that kind of arrangement--provided that you could give them lots of artificial light. I bet a vivarium with numerous walkerianas, nobiliors, aclandiaes and maybe a schilleriana (which I think might like it a little more moist during its "dry season") would be stunning. Hmmm... Maybe I need to look at that old aquarium of mine in a different light.
