A new semi aquaponics system?

[Chris102]

So I've had a very hard time finding a good way to water my Vanda. We keep our house cold, so the AC dries everything out very quickly. I came up with this idea the other week that's roughly based on an aquaponics system. The Vanda is resting in a traditional plastic orchid pot with lots of little holes at the bottom. That pot is then sat inside a glass vase filled halfway with water. I then ran an air line tube and air stone directly under the plastic pot so the bubbles create a mist that waters roots and keeps the humidity high. Also a small goldfish lives below the plant to provide fertilizer in the former of fish waste. The Vanda was in terrible shape when I rescued it, and had very little roots. It's has since put out new roots and two leaves in a month of being in this system! The roots look a little brown in the photo, but it's just the lighting. I'm quite happy with how this is working out, I've never seen it done quite like this...so we'll see how it plays out long-term. Please comment and let me know what you all think about this!
