Yep, I have to get one of these. Maybe tomorrow or next weekend

Yeah they are pretty neat little things. Wondering what conditions everyone's are grown in - I have yet to figure out what I'm doing with it.

So far I've been misting it with plain water when the moss gets crunchy - probably 4 or 5 times a day. Not really wanting to mist it that much (well actually I do enjoy it), it takes a lot of time.

I know it needs to dry out between waterings, but how long do you let it be dry? Obviously it's good to be dry when the lights are off.

How do you fertilize? Do you dip it in a solution, or mist with fertilizer? and how often. I'm thinking the fertilizer might clog the mister.

It also needs a massive amount of light, up to full sun I believe.

Any other hints or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Well mine is mounted on a piece of wood, I got it from Andy's Orchids. I have it at the very top of the orchidarium that has my T5 lights. I dunk mine daily in water with fertilizer in the morning and it is dried out by the time the lights go out. The orchidarium has humidity of around 70% and the temps are around 75 during the day right now and in mid to high 60's at night. I have had about two or three new leaves so far so I guess it is happy. Hope this helps!

I just got one today from Andy's! Its a beautiful little baby. I stuck it in the terrarium for the weekend, since its pouring rain here and I don't want to lug my new plants out to the greenhouse.
