Haraella odorata *MINI*
Ok, my Haraella is doing great. Its mounted on a stick, I hung the stick in the viv, see the pics above. The humidity is always around 80% due to glass cover, water feature, and frequent atomatic mistings from Mist King's setups (those things have really fine mist, so it spreads out better and hangs in the air alot longer than any hand mister). I also have a fan which runs a few times a day for different amounts of time. Mostly early in the morning, late at night, through the night, and from 2 to 3:30 in the afternoon. The mistings are 1 min in the morning twice, and 1 at around 5. Then the fan comes on at around 6 till 1 am. So the temps top out at around 75 to 82 (depending on the wheather outside) during midday, plus the fan makes sure the orchid is nice and dry during midday and at night. I was hopping to simulate tropical wheather by doing this, nice and cool, windy and possibly wet in the morning and afternoon, and hot and dry during midday. So far so good. The plant is growing roots everywhere, and its even about to give me a new leaf. I hope it flowers soon!!
what do you guys think???
