Grand Cayman Orchidarium
Finally a new home for my ‘chids. My Orchids, that is. I was finally able to setup my Orchidarium, it was worth the wait!
The orchids I grow are primarily Cattleya relatives. I’ve been struggling with the lack of humidity in my living room and lack of space to grow them in also. I had a 30 gallon aquarium that I turned into an orchidarium of sorts but it proved to be too small. Since they were all crammed in there, and I only had one computer fan running, the air circulation wasn’t so great.
I started looking into wardian cases and things like that but they lacked the conveniences of a case specifically made for orchids – ease of use, cleaning, air circulation, grow lights.
Then I found the Orchidarium Company. Everything I could ever want for my orchids was right there in front of me. They had a few models and I was trying to decide which one was going to suit my needs and my budget.
Then Rusty had a great idea. Why not wait until we received our tax returns to see what we could afford? In the end, we had enough money to purchase the biggest model they had, the Grand Cayman. It’s 48″ wide by 24″ deep by 42″ tall. Much more room than I really needed, but it would give me room to purchase more. The next step up from here is my own greenhouse when we finally buy ourselves a home.
