What you've built is called an orchidarium. It looks like a really good job
that you've done. There are two elements missing. You will need a fan to circulate air inside the orchidarium and you will need to supplement the light. If you search an archive of the discussions here, you will find plenty of information on lighting and the orchidarium. Good luck. ________________ Ken Woodward Newton, MA http://kwoodward.net "daniel bach" wrote in message ... Hi!

Good luck. alright, but this fan, should it only circulate the inside air or also merge the inside air with the outside air? can I take those standard-fans from a pc, or is 80-85% humidity too much for them? but you think that it is generally enough light for most orchids? |

A larger pc fan will work well. If you have an opening that you can prop
open in the summer for venting that would be good. In the winter you can keep it totally closed. ________________ Ken Woodward Newton, MA http://kwoodward.net "daniel bach" wrote in message ...
