Orchids everywhere!!! Vivarium update!!!

[hcastil3]

So, I decided to make an updated video of my vivarium and other non orchid plants. Its funny I started focusing in Angraecums and Aerangis and ended up with everything hahaha



Please let me know what you guys think, suggestions? comments? anything is appreciated..

and Tom, look the moss is there already lol, and the new orchids too let me know if you can spot the bulbo!!!


my Aerangis distincta is in spike, and a few others, but the Lepanthes telepogoniflora is coming out of bloom

also that
Epidendrum parkinsonianum is actually 25 inches long haha wow.. any how


sorry about the video they always come out that way, I guess I should invest in a camera, but i can't stop buying orchids!!!!!

Hector, the vivarium is off the hook awesome! And great looking plants. I'm glad the package made it safe and I see that new chids are in their new home already:-) Really nice!

Thanks Tom, and yes, indeed they have they are really neat, i love them I can't thank you enough they should grow and multiply I am planning on filling that big stump with micro and minis, eventually so the rosary beads was the first one there i made sure to keep it moist since you said it likes to be almost wet

Thanks brn_thmbs

I can't wait to see new growth and compare it to previous times

Great list Hector. I did get many after you told me about them (and vice versa, you did after I told you:-))), one was Masdie erinacea, and guess what, 3 blooms fully open today and one about to open:-) So pics are coming, it is my first ever Masdie to bloom:-)

Wow, that is a wonderful collection! Vivarium is outstanding. They all look so healthy! Think it's great that you have a jasmine plant too. What are the high and low temps for your vivarium in winter?

[Leafmite]

Looks really fantastic! Great job!

[hcastil3]

Thanks Gardentheater, so the temps vary actually a lot haha it just depends on the room temperature, but most orchids survived the drop down to low 50's for a couple of nights, my heater wasn't working in my house...


the only thing Ithink I lost(still hoping it will come back to life somehow ) was my Dendrophylax lindenii, the fawcetti however didn't mind that drop in temperature..


umm so I would say it gets in the high 50's to low70's in the winter so far sometimes higher or lower depending on the weather,

I don't really have a way to control the Heat other than the controlling the whole room.... but everything is Happy.. .one big mistake that I did was not cutting the watering times down sooner, so many things went yellowish ,but no losses other than the one mentioned..

Great job! You have an awesome collection and setup. Your dog is very cute too!
