Hey Orchid Board,
The name's Xenon and I am a Ph.D. student who loves growing plants as a hobby. I keep mostly common ferns and philodendrons. I've had a couple orchids through the years, but I tend to kill anything more temperamental than a Phalaenopsis. I'm holding out hope that terrarium growing will let me branch out a little. On a student's budget I can't do much all at once, but reading Draikan's thread inspired to me to start tinkering and piecing things together. I'm planning to document my process here so that I have a record to look back on. If anyone wants to chime in and encourage a novice orchid keeper that would be appreciated too.
So far, I have bought some components to assemble the terrarium itself, copying Draikan where I can. I hope to assemble on Friday and post an update about it.
