Update: Im finished but just getting started.
Update: Here is my orchids new living space, although I have already decided I need a bigger one since I got 3 new orchids for Christmas and I have another one my friend is giving me within the next week. The lighting is perfect, I only use 2/4 lights on, 4/4 was burning the cat. The Cat, Tulu, and Onc. "Calire" (which I still know nothing about), are on the top shelf. The Phals, Paph, Onc. Sharry and Dend. are on the bottom shelf. Even in Colorado, where currently it's 16 degrees with 10 inches on snow the temp and humidity stay around 75 degrees and 45-70 percent humidity. We rarely turn on heat in our house so our inside temp is in the 60's. I have two dishes in there with rocks and water for humidity as well as a fan. It's a good beginners start but I will be making some adjustments in the future. Hope this helps anyone starting out just like me!
