hello! A long time ago and many new orchids to get. I was saying that i was building a new orchidairum. well ladies and gents here it is. its all made from red oak 1"x2" stainless steel pan with drain and etc. this took almost a year to build. enjoy

That's what I'm talking about! Nice job! Now the easy part -- filling it to the brim.

[Becca]

Wow! It looks great! Before you know it, you will be building another one!

[Ross]

How much light (foot candles) are you getting on the bottom shelf? Just curious.

You did a really good job building! It's a very nice orchidarium. What kind of orchid do you have it there so far?

I remember your saying you were going to build one of these! How cool!

Your plants sure look happy in there! I know you're going to have a wonderful time filling it up!

How's your humidity level? And do you have a fan inside the orchidarium?

[Grandma M]

Bodaciousbonsai, WOW!!! I'm amazed. It looks like a dream come true. The size is great, being able to place the shelving cart inside is what I like.

That would be the perfect answer to my problem. Is there anything like that commercially available? I'm not too impressed with some of them I see available on the net. I keep searching for something similar to what you have done. I want a place to grow with high humidity but have not found one that LOOKS NICE, as well as being functional.

Don't tell me to build one, I'm not capable of doing anything like that. I want something I can just buy, put it in place, and then put into it some of the plants I have which are struggling without the proper humidity. Maybe I'm dreaming of the impossible.
