Orchid cage for summering out.
My "Orchid cage" :a chicken wire enclosure for summering out my miniatures.
Its located in a shady spot that gets morning sun only,and protected from winds.
I use sand filled trays,and "moss and chicken wire plaques" to keep humidity high.
I am able to summer out cool growing miniatures this way for several years now.
The cage is to protect from squirels (?) and other animals.For slugs, I bait with "Escar-go" pellets both outside and inside the cage .
The legs of the cage are sitting in saucers of water to further discourage slugs and snails.
Even still ,I sometimes find some damage.
Hope this setup gives some ideas that could be helpfull.
