My new orchidarium...take a look

[jonnygreenthumb]

Tried to do it within reasonable money boundaries, so far I I've spent over 200.00, not sure maybe 300.00 and that's not counting the chids in it or the lighting, misting, warm air humidifier, cool air humidifier, and the...on an on. which I'm planning on improving with only MH instead of Power Compact. I wish the picture of the inside would have come out better though, much brighter .

	Mistking Looking for a misting system? Look no further. Automated misting systems from MistKing are used by multitude of plant enthusiasts and are perfect for Orchids. Systems feature run dry pumps, ZipDrip valve, adjustable black nozzles, per second control! Automatically mist one growing shelf or a greenhouse full of Orchids. See MistKing testimonials

Have you considered using hardware cloth mounted 1" off the surface, on the sides and back of your unit.......with complete control of the environment, it would be ideal for a ton of mounted orchids!



...no those are not my pretty nails!

Dave, how'd you know what my first comment would be??? Nice manicure

Jonny, the setup looks great! I agree with Dave's suggestion of a mounting "wall"...there are so many options of material to use and how you'd like it set up. I'm picturing a long horizontal strip of something hung along the top in back filled with mini-mounts!

I'll post some more in the morning. It has a few updates in it. I do have some long narrow wicker baskets already with some mini's in them. I also have some mounted that I'll get of all of that. The water reservoir will be added this weekend. I'm still waiting on an order to come in for a mini chid called PLEUROTHALLIS brighamii. I cant wait it's so small. I'll have to protect it from Calli my chameleon. I don't want it to get walked on by her. I cant wait to show you all what the orchidarium looks like now . I'll get the list of chids in my collection also listed.
Anybody got ideas on the warm/cold air humidifiers ducting that was mentioned earlier in the last post by me? Thanks for all the comments and helpful ideas I'm looking forward to keeping this going with you all on the progress.
