I am a semi-noob in orchid culture. Thus far my collection is solely Phalaenopsis brought in by my wife whom works at a senior care facility. Don't laugh....I have accumulated about 20 thus far!
The basic scenario is that they come to me in varying conditions, I remove them from the grocery store pots of death and place them in the orchid medium over a humidity tray and they do well. I never knew orchids were this easy. I am fortunate that Orchids, Limited is only a hop and a jump from my home in Minnesota
Now I am in Iowa, caring for my brother with stage 4 Lymphoma. He had been a long time fancier of many herps which have now found new homes and I find myself with my choice of multiple empty terrariums.....I think we all know the direction this is going
. The terrarium that has caught my eye is a 36x36x24 exoterra. I have read many posts in the terrarium forum and am trying to decide what direction to go. There are so many options. At this point, I feel it wise to build on the current background, install a mister, and get it ready to plant. The actual planting should probably wait until I get back home. So, currently, I am in the planning stages and looking for ideas as to where to proceed. I'm thinking a mix of minis and 2-3 mid-sized orchids.
There is a basement full of other exoterra and other assorted terrariums as well.....I think I am in trouble
Just getting started
