I decided to build a new orhiterrarium. I calculate the dimensions and proportions in 3D MAX.
I decide to move the top predators, and let the light from the top of the 3-5-metallohalid different power tubes. Predators will be in a glass beds, width and depth of 15 cm around the perimeter of the glass cabinet, a distance of 30 cm from the top. And as orchids vertically around the perimeter, and more will be able to grow Shade. I plan to embed orhiterrarium directly into the sewer. Still an open question as to the cooling, I think of refrigerated coolers, I think, is not decided yet.
In the current orhiterrariume things still. Epiweb disappointed in, the bark is better. Vanilla is a meter in length 3, the wrap-around snags. She has a new type of roots, not the usual yellow-green, and similar to the roots of Phalaenopsis, and she began to branch out.
Here is photo of the project, in terms of rendered image. The squares on top - square reflectors metallohalid lapm, it is such and I want to

Sounds good. I wish I could see the finished product but it is a little far from where I live

You have shown us all that orchids can be grown in any part of the world as long as you have the drive and the knowledge to do it.

Oh, yes! Thank you

My old orchiterrarium today.
Vanilla is very big today, but no one flower.

Great phal in there!
If you were to leave the vanilla in there it would take up the entire terrarium before it would bloom. They need to get VERY large in order to be blooming size!

Thank you, Camille1585

I am very disappointed in the material of the Epi-Web. It is poorly suited to the conditions of my orhiterrarium. Orchids do not grow in it and very dry. Natural pine bark, sfagnum moss and charcoal are the best substrate for the orchid. There was no time to remade orhidarium, as I had planned. All the time I was busy in work of PhD dissertations.
Today I am glad blossoming Princess Mikasa Blue. This is the same askotsenda, which have two trunks, after removing the top. I showed it earlier in the pictures. Photo of vanilla on the windowsill. And again, Cymbidium photos in blooming on the window sill.
