My small Orchid cabinet
It's my first Vivarium/Orchidarium and I started it about 6 months ago. Had some problems with timers for the water pump that has killed of all new moss that came and some plants but it's getting better and better. Just added more light which makes me able to use more of the space for plants. Earlier a big portion of the cabinet got almost no light at all.
Gonna add more plants in the future and hopefully get the moss going and hopefully it'll look really good.
The size is about 28 X 20 inches

Really nice looking!  It's going to look absolutely wonderful once you get the moss going.

I love the way it looks. Let us know how the mos is reacting to the increase in light and temps. I have found most mosses to be quite finicky. When they like an environment they thrive, change 1 thing and they perish.

Very pretty! Congrats!
Would love to have more details and pics (if possible) of how you built it up & the plants you're keeping in there as well as your conditions in there!
Apologies for the 1000 questions! |

I'll get you some more pics later.
The back ground is Epiweb and I have a small pump watering three times a day for 2 minutes. It's been very tricky with the watering and how often to do it but this seems good. I have one light source coming from above and one from each side. I also have two PC fans working about 12h/24h. Temperatures are a little high unfortunately and are around 25 (day) to 19 (night).
I have a few Restrepias (some blooming but not growing very well), Pleurothallis (some thriving, some not so much), Lepanthopsis astrophora and a few Bulbos (doing well). All in all I think it's about 20 species.
Got plans on a new, even smaller and enclosed vivarium for miniature warm growing species. Love this kind of growing. |
