I’ll always love my minis, but I’ve been pining for some big, lush tropical aroids and orchids lately. I freed up a little space in the house recently so of course this is what I did with it - and immediately got a Sharry Baby to christen it.
4.5x4.5’ greenhouse, Hydro Mars TS600 LED light to supplement the sunlight, and a Zoomed Hygrotherm I had lying around to control an ultrasonic humidifier when humidity falls below 75% and a fan when temperature goes above 78. The humidity sensor on my ancient Hygrotherm is broken, but Zoomed is graciously sending me a replacement free of charge (despite being way outside of their warranty).
My dream plant is Epidendrum medusae - I’ve never had the space to try it before. If my temps don’t go above 80 now, at the hottest time of the year, maybe I can give it a try. So far it seems to go down to 70 at night and shoot up to 78 pretty quickly with the morning sun, and it’s like a sauna in there in the morning at 78 and 80% humidity. It’s a wonderful experience in the desert.
