Orchids for a warm vivarium
 

Question homeys: My vivarium gets warm in the summer. Intermediate in the winter (65-75F), but in the summer, it gets warm--maybe 85+ days, 75+ nights. I do not use air-conditioning, because I of my other plants and big lizards (who run around).

The tank has a motif--from left to right, it is neotropical, then African, then Asiatic. The right half half is covered with saran wrap, so I can grow swamp aroids emersed (Anubias, Cryptocoryne;) The left side is open so I can grow bromeliads epiphytically (and not just tillandsias). My aroids, bromeliads, begonias, gesneriads do great--but I do not have long-term success with orchids, and I suspect the reason is the inability to cool down the tank at night during the summer. What say you guys?

How the hell does one use punctuation marks without the juvenile...e.g.;

Hi, welcome to OB!

No semicolon by itself doesn't do it. It's the combination of semicolon and ) that gives you a wink ;)

thanks for the warning. its always good to know.
