Hi Paul I actually have 3 Terrariums now, they are actually 'aquariums' made for REPTILES' with opening front glass doors and mosquito net tops... all acquired in the last year and a half

2 are in front of one W patio sliding doors/window;
one in a S patio/sliding window.
All of the windows/doors have net curtains ....
Very hard to photograph with my point and shoot camera..have already tried.. & photos don't look too hot 'cause of the light...in the day too bright and at night not bright enough, & don't look like anything.. I will try and have an other go ...

PS: The Trig has always been in the W facing window although I moved it to 'front position' in the terrarium rather than 'second row' where it had been since I acquired it last summer for the project.
This was at the beginning of April to give it more direct sunshine for more hours during the day. It sort of can be seen on photos of my earlier post..

An other point I left out. These are basically "glass boxes" with a mosquito net top and have a layer of 3 cms terracotta/LECA on the bottoms into which I pour water into every few weeks to keep the humidity at more than 60% and 99% max ( I open the doors to get the humidity down)

Oh wow! I used a water basin in my terrarium but due to build up of algae I'm regretting that decision. Perhaps I'll switch over to your method! I used a Zoo Med terrarium which is identical to what you have described.

Mine just seems to be a slow grower, although it does pick up a bit in warmer weather. I tried it in brighter light and the newer leaves were coming in yellowed, so I placed it back in a window with full a.m. sun but with about 60% shade cloth over it. Mine has grown about 3 new leaves and advanced 1/2 inch in 6 months.
Cheers,
Tony

Mine popped a new root and is working on another leaf. I don't see anything that looks like a bud in the works.

Mine hasn't dine anything yet, but it's not dead and still produces roots and leaves. Just found out it's kind of like Vanda's so I've adjusted my regimen a bit... We'll see...
