Hi everyone,
I recently purchased this mini, indoor greenhouse on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got it for my cool and cool preference Masdies and pleuros in general for which I feel would benefit from elevated humidity. I have a "full" size one of these greenhouses and have experimented, successfully, in getting the humidity high. That greenhouse is overflowing with warmish (and some intermediate) growers. I have seedling mats on the second level for my S/H warm growers, with the top level being mounted plants. The mats seem to do a good job of keeping the whole thing warmer than the rest of the room. The humidity is always high (80%+) I would like to move the intermediates out and into a more intermediate, to intermediate cool set up and move my cool growers into it as well.
My problem has become that I did not measure the mini-house's intended space and well, it isn't going to fit. I could put it in the intended room, but it is a southern window and I am afraid my plants will cook in the enclosed space during the day. I do have an (orchid free

), heavily shaded eastern window that I could put the set up in. During the winter, with the wood stove going, the room might get down into the high 50's at night, but also can get up into the 80's (still perfecting my skill in heat control!). Nothing is really a guarantee with it. I have a back up heater that is set to 50F most of the winter in case the stove goes out so nobody will freeze, though a few of my warm growers may not be happy.
A side note, I'm not terribly concerned with light from the window - primary lighting will be artificial.
I know we have some dedicated Masdie and Pleuro lovers here, so I'm reaching out- What would you do? I've read numerous places before that temperature changes and humidity are far more important than actual coolness, but I would like a more experienced person's point of view.
I love all orchids, but I have become smitten with Masdevallias and their ilk - not keeping them is not an option

. I do try to focus on temperature tolerant and intermediate growers, but there are a few cool ones I just have to try.
Thanks!
