A humidifier is next on my list of acquisitions, since I live up in the Rockies and it is VERY dry here in the winter.
That is another reason for the food containers - I can see through them to the roots!
Ok, I'll look at first ray's. Maybe there will be something I can use.

Thanks!

I am in a rocky mountain state at a very high altitude as well, and yes, it is very dry here. A sonic (cool-air ) humidifier is a wonderful addition to an orchid collection in our area. It is also great for keeping down dust in the house, keeping wooden items from cracking, and for lowering your chance of colds or bloody noses, and keeps the skin moist-- you can see I am a great fan of them.
