indoor greenhouse in my office Male
Default indoor greenhouse in my office

Hey!
I need some advise, I'm basically starting from scratch.
I currently have Cattleyas, Paphiopedilums, Phalaenopsis, and my Neofinetia / Mini Dend collection in my home. The grown Catts and Vandas are at Chadwicks boarding.
During summer I kept my orchids in the sunroom at the 3rd floor. A bit of a shame since i'm never up there.
I'm not planning on living in my current place forever so I went to IKEA and bought wireshelvings.
Now one thing let into another, I stole the humidifier (Dyson) from the bedroom, bought some lights and try to set up the space.
Before I continue wasting money I push the brake and ask here.

Currently I own:
2 x SANSI 15W LED Grow Light
1 x Root Farm All-Purpose LED Grow Light, 45W - Broad Spectrum Grow Lamp

I have a couple of Humidity trays which i find visually very nice. Not sure about their effect.

Now, room temp is 75-63 and humidity is 43-57%.

I measure, with my cell phone and lux app, 2500 ftct under the root farm led and 300-500ftct below the 2 Sansi lights. I understand this is absolutely not sufficient.

Again, going forward I may move to a place with a proper greenhouse but for the next few years i need to run a combo of boarding at places plus optimizing some space in my office.

i was planning to purchase something like this
Amazon.com
or whatever you guys can recommend me. Maybe something that allows me to use my existing wire shelves? I dont know
Biggest issue is light and keeping the humidity trapped.

I read good things about
Amazon.com

Again, I'm trying to set something up indoor. for now, I have 3ft*3ft or 2*6 or something similar for setting something up. Also, i would be very interest in a stand alone system for my Neofinetias. Not a must but if someone knows a cool looking kit, like an aqua terrarium or something, that would be awesome.

Thanks!
