hello intro newbie

[RSS]

good morning!
I finally joined after reading many of the informative posts and seeing all the creative projects you are involved in. I have been growing orchids for around 5 years. I have a small greenhouse that I use in the fall and spring, but does not have the equipment needed for Summer and Winter. I have vandas and cattleyas, but my favorites are the masdevalias, draculas, and especially the lepanthes. I've just started with the lepanthes and can't fuss enough over them. I just got a 48x18x20 glass aquarium with a glass lid. I have fluorescents in front of a basement window that will just fit over the glass top. I ordered misters, muffin fan for inside the top, and was thinking left back glass panel will stay out with a fan clipped to top for exhaust. Might open top right front glass panel too.

I need to start reading up on moss and frogs... was going to just fill it with orchids but thinking might be nice to have a frog or too.. always getting carried away with this stuff. Will the frogs be Ok with the lepanthes?

Any suggestions are most welcome!!

Debbie
