New orchidarium! Male
Default New orchidarium!

I used to grow my miniature orchids in a two gallon aquarium tank, but soon it got too crowded, so I bought a new exo-terra terrarium. I used eggcrate to make the base, so that the pots would not be standing in water, and the walls to hang orchids. I still need to put some lights and a fan for better air circulation. If you have any suggestions on how to imporve my orchidarium, I will really appreciate it. Now some photos of my old terrarium and new orchidarium, as well as a size comparison.

Thank you all!

Not really. It is just condensation inside the tank. I am planning to get one though.

Hi, I think it looks good. You could get a piece of glass cut to fit the top and get rid of the screen top. Get some computer fans inside to get the ventilation going.
