I have almost finished furniture for my first orchids in Canada
It is a living room window (north/west). Initially I wanted something where my dog can't throw over the pots when he looks through the window... voila
The mosaic is made of spectrum glass & shale stone (the middle drawer is not yet finished). The furniture is on rolls and has holes on the bottom to pass cables to the inside, where I've installed a couple of plugs and 1 safeguard circuit for the heating cable (roof de-icing cable). If I want to move the furniture I only have to unplug 1 connection from the wall and roll the whole thing away.
The platform is waterproof and has a declination towards 1 corner to drain water easily. I would like to put a layer of something that conducts the heat to the pots but covers the cable; and keep this layer wet/partially flooded. Filling in water and installing a grid for the pots to stand on would be easy and hygienic... but the looks! And doesn't conduct the heat. Any ideas would be very much appreciated!!!
Someone already gave me the good tip to add a little Virkon to the water in the platform sometimes.
The orchids on the mount are doing specifically well and started growing new roots immediately.
The artificial light is almost not worth mentioning... I need to find a better solution.
