    Red face massies grow area

    I converted a disused aquarium to house my new orchids in. The CD is to stop the fogger unit spashing out too much water. I think it works OK for now, but I'm sure it can be improved upon in time.

    Hey Steve,

    You gave me a great idea for me to be able to house/grow a Ghost Orchid (Polyhrrihza Lindenii) that I plan to buy to replace the old one that got picked away by birds that flew into my grow area!
