Wardian Case

[CALLY]

HI Ronald,

Wow really cool.....

2 question:
Your cooler growing orchids I saw on your list on your blog....

I have an odontoglossum. Can I grow this in a growing case with warmer orchids eg Vanda or will it do it no good....

I was thinking of a 1.2m high x 1m x 600 growing case, you mentioned that you wished you had built yours a little higher. Do you think 1.2m is too high for the light to get all the way down to the bottom?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Cally,

I don't think 1.2 meters is too deep. That's about as deep as I would have gone. As to the Odont., if it's a species, probably not, if it's a warmer growing multi-generic hybrid, it might go. They're more tolerant.

Ron,

I like your idea of the aluminum angle, I think I'm going to steal it for my project.
Do you have some sort of drain at the bottom for excess water or do the fans evaporate that for the most part?
