Thanks Tindo, I'm all to familiar with the "mealy bugs wars". I too fought bravely and won (eventually) and have become very vigilant. It's the little bush snails that somehow seem to emerge out of nowhere. In a lush terrarium they're almost impossible to eradicate. Baits only go so far.

Ah yes, the great Mealy Bug Wars... I fear we've all lost some good Captains, Generals and foot soldiers in those long wars... Glad to see yours are doing good though!

Thanks. I am using two 65 watt Compact flourescent bulbs in a fixture made for aquarium lighting. 6,000K, portions of the tank are supplemented by afternoon sunlight during the winter from a south facing window.

Beautiful looking setup Tindo. I'd love to see more tank shots as you post pics of your blooms. Its always great to get context of growing conditions for plants, especially when your tank looks like this!
