good set-up you have there....no need for icemaker/humidity trays your grow zone has high humidity in your atmosphere; all you need is slightly open the window....I also noticed that your Millennium Magic have two spikes....how exciting it must be for you....please post pictures of the blooms....

I will the magic bloom was spiked before I got it. And one was broken when I opened it. But I got it still! Im excited. We have been having some really muggy weather. But I cant open the window because it kills my allergies.

Also the way I got my schomburgkia to hang was with those 3m command strips. With the hooks that can take up to 2lbs. Then before hung it up used a light wire looped it around it and made the loop for the hook to hang. Working wonderfully thus far.

I love the hooks. I have them all over my house. I think I should have gotten the movable hook ones because I am thinking of stringing up some of my others to hang as well

Nice job! Everything fits in like puzzle pieces. From your earlier posts about humidity, it sounds like you have a way to measure that too.

Yep I was using little over flow plates that you stick under the terracotta pots. I had those filled w hydroton and having to fill them 2-3 times a day it was not working so now I got extra creative

For measuring humidity, a thermometer/hygrometer is what you need. They're inexpensive and can save your orchids.
