new ummm plant and water thing

thanks for the response, I guess supplimenting my light with a spare pc fixture just might do the trick.


I will have to look into the plants...

Orchids are a tough sell in a viv, most don't prefer the constant wetness you'll get. Some will probably do well but it's tough finding them.

I might have some mini brom pups that I could set you up with.

You won't find much for mini broms locally in the stores. It's pretty bad for that around here. Just the huge broms (which are nice, but usually too big for vivs). There have been times I've been tempted to ask the zoo for pups of some of their collection (they have some really nice miniatures in their collections )

orchid place in calgery.. just ask for mini orchids that would do well in a terarrium... they should know what your talking about.

So I checked the name tags of the two miniature bromeliads I have that could I could snip a pup off. Neoregelia lilliputiana, and Neo. lilli x Elton. I could snip these off if you wanted something to start with.

What I'd really love to get my hands on is a Neoregelia Fireball and a Vriesea racinae. If you do some mail-order for broms and you happen to notice these available please let me know, we could pool the order and save a bit on shipping if you were into that.

fragging broms ? but on the more serious side, i have a couple things to take care of at the moment but perhaps once I make it back from jamaica we can discuss.

Hawaiian Botanicals had about 10 species of mini broms in right now... maybe its worth to shoot them an email?

I was just checking them out a couple days ago actually. The problem with their store is I'll spend a couple hundred just window shopping.

Think I might JUST fire off an order with them!!! So there!

Haha, right on! Raf and I spent over 100 bucks there the other day.... and we were trying to control ourselves. But now we thought about it and need to go back for more.

When I was feeding froggies today I noticed the my orchid had a flower on it!
It's just tiny about 3/4". The orchid is Bulbophyllum lasiochilum and it's right at the top of the viv with a mister aimed right at it.
You can see how small it is by the shadow of the nozzle.
Cool

Awesome !! What is the little viney thing surrounding it?
