My Orchidarium Pics
Well I wasn't sure where to post these pictures, and I promised a while back ago that I would share pictures of them. They aren't the best, it is hard to capture the true lighting, but I suppose they will do.
The first and largest orchidarium has a MistKing system in it to help keep the humidity around 70% and higher. The temps right now are in the 70's and the lows in the 60's at night. There are three lights that are some kind of a florecent biaxle light if I remember correctly. The 'chids really seem to love it in there and I have seen amazing growth!
The second orchidarium has an 8-bulb T5 light fixture. It holds the humidity pretty well without having to add a misting system. The lights also heat up to about 90+. I just started using a fan to cool them and it keeps the high temps in the upper 70's and the lows in the 60's.
Ooops! I just realized I haven't taken any pictures of my smaller orchidarium after I added orchids to it about 3 month's ago....but don't worry, it is full! I will get pictures of it with orchids soon! Now that I look at the large orchidarium, I realize I need to update these photo's as well since I have the set up of the orchids different and also some different orchids.
Enjoy!
