S/H Terrarium

[Tindomul]

Very interesting Ray. However, do you think that primeagra area is deep enough? Or is the epiweb layer good enough and thick enough to act as a drainage layer? What other orchids are you thinking of trying in there?

The photos are a bit deceiving, and the EpiWeb might as well be free air space.

There is absolutely no issue with drainage - the PrimeAgra layer is about 3" thick, and in those photos, is about 1/4 inch above the liquid.

As I said right off the top, I don't know the first thing about terraria, but the plants are all doing well, so far. The sundew in the center front started catching those fungus gnats in less than 24 hours.

Well in that case, I don't see why it wouldn't work. The humidity will ofcourse stay high, the drainage is adequate, and the lighting seems to be sufficient. Congrats!! Let us know when you add more orchids!

In addition to the ludisias, there are a couple of bulbos in there, but it's quite cool in the basement, so I thing I may need to warm things up a bit for them.

I recently received and orchid mounted using this material and wondered what it was called and where it came from. Thanks!

Hi Ray,
I am reading and rereading all these threads so I can get myself started on a terrarium. I was hoping to use S/H so I am very interested how the last few months have been for your plants? Thanks for an update.

Ray, I'm curious how the EpiWeb as a substrate is working for you? I was thinking of using that as the bottom layer to reduce the weight on my tank that I'm planning to take to shows to showcase my misting systems. How is epiweb weight wise as compared to clay pebbles?

Hello, I am in the procees of having a orchidairum custom built. With the designs by me. I will post pics as soon as complete. The walls are going to be 1/4" lexan. 48"x 48" x 24". I think thats a good size for my mostly miniature collection.

Interesting... perhaps I too shall build an orchidarium... I made my plans with the intention of a box 6'x3'x3' LxHxD. Maybe too big? Nah! three ultrasonic foggers, four small fans, about 72 feet of angle iron, and too much glass to imagine!

Any new updates on this Ray?
