:DHi Draikan,

Here is the entire tank. However right now I have 2 mini hybrid phals and the Sigmatostalix Radicans in bloom :love:

The temp average is 26 with 75-90% humidity. Lighting is low, since during the noon hours I don't turn the led on since is 40° outside. I do water heavy everymorning since a month ago. I have 1 fan on the left side On 27/7, as your suggestion (Thks).
The only one suffering a lot is the Dracula Janetiae.


This is the tank

Hi Tonio,

I use this … SanLight 10W

FLEX10 - Compact Linear Horticultural Led Lighting - 10W - GrowLED

I could put some extra lighting but so far with this seams enough, the more demanding plants in terms of lights have bloomed

Well, it looks really good! I see a lot of light green new growth, and even some fresh roots.

Did your bugs/mold clear up?

Yes, thank you. I am very happy indeed

Hi!!!

I haven't posted anything here for a long time, but I have changed part of my indoor growth setup; now I am growing into 5 tanks (terrariums), each of them adapted to the orchid group or a group of orchids with the same environment needs. Since my work duties are increasing, I'll have less time especially for the plants that require more humidity and special care, therefore I needed to try to automatize or at least optimize the care (auto-care) as much as possible.

I have changed the name of the thread to TANK ATTACK :biggrin: since is not only one (1) project anymore, now I have 5 beautifully challenges; let see how it goes!! ;)


*****
1º TANK is my original "test" tank with a mix of Cold Forest Mini species.
2º TANK only Masdevallias
3º TANK only Paphiopedilum Group
4º TANK only Phalaenopsis Novelties
5º TANK only Draculas

And this is what is going on in some of them:

TANK No.1 - Forest Species

Thanks!!! :bowing

It has given me many hours of thinking "how do I do it?", a lot of Wallapop to find the terrariums, and almost the divorce!!

Those are all wonderful! Little corners of orchid heaven!

man sade, that is a plant lovers heaven in your living room! quick question, which light do you use for your phal tank, and do you have anything between the light and the plants, or just the light straight on the top of the tank? are you using fans inside?

and how are you getting it cool enough for the dracs?
