How do you start your plans?

[samantha.c]

I have a glass Vivarium is originally picked up for some reptiles but have decided to use it for orchids instead. I’ve only ever kept potted/mounted orchids around the house before...how do you recommend starting plans for an enclosure? The one I have is 18” x 18” x 36” (36” being height).

Decide the temperature or ranges of temperatures and same for humidity you want to create.

For some they want to make an area that is vastly different than their normal area. For some they want a living art piece. And for some an incubator of sorts

It can be very clinical or a copy of a cloud forest but the first place is what conditions do I want? That dictates the plants and the setup
