Thank you. All my epiphyte plants I'm hoping to use for this project are grown unmounted on spaghnum. The orchids I give a little more care to and have been using random cork pieces to mount. I don't...

Strange question, that possibly doesn't belong here, but when choosing branches for an orchid terrarium mount are there any general guidelines for width? Obviously it depends on the size of the...

Aquariums and orchids both require patience. I might be newer to orchids, but have a lifetime with the other, so there's no worries there.

Thank you for the confirmation about the lights! I...

At least with it getting cold now I'll have a better chance of actually saving towards a background and light for the future actual terrarium.

Not the most important update, but I'm excited so thought I'd share. In the original tub the Scaphosepalum breve continues blooming and the Masdevallia (Diodonopsis) erinacea is blooming for the...

Thank you for the information, and especially the pictures. Certainly helps me to see what I should have done. I placed a thin pad of spaghnum (only a few threads) between the wood and roots with no...

I should be careful reading random sites on the internet, because that is not how I mounted either time. Both times I've had plants mounted upwards. Some of those have attached at least. I also don't...

Thank you for the tips! A third hand would be great. I had help for attaching the mounts to the eggcrate, but that was it. My biggest issue was tying the roots to the mount, worrying about the...

Phase two. This is a larger Sterilite bin (66 qt). The fan is an 80 mm one identical to that in my original bin. I also have a 120 mm and was unsure which to use, but since they are adjustable speed...

Thank you. I have been keeping a layer of water in the bottom. I'm not sure the exact humidity, but there's a fine condensation on the lid each morning. The plants seem extra happy too. The...
