Hi. I just thought I'd post what I'm eventually going to use as a Heliamphora Nutans set up in case anyones interested. It's nothing special, but it's an interesting sort of idea. However I'm not sure what you'd call it?
Pretty much the idea is I have a really bright windowsill which I was told by a Heli grower would be suitable for Heli, but it's not humid enough. So I'm sticking a 'mini windowsill greenhouse' on the windowsil, for humidity. However I was worried about a) headroom for the heli, as it isn't too tall and b) heating up too much, so I've come up with the idea of propping it up on a pair of bricks, so there will be a gap for air flow.
Here's a photo of the actual product I'm using:
I've already purchsed it. It cost me 10.00$NZ plus 6.00$NZ postage. It is 26cm high, 15cm wide, and 23cm long. This should be nearly large enough for a H. Nutans, which only grow to approx 20cm, remembering it has to have a pot of soil too!
This is an image I created myself on Paint to demostrate what I plant to do. The windowsill it'll be situated on is behind a fridge, which acts as a reflector, throwing the light back towards the window. The windowsil is also white in real life, so there is a lot of reflecting going on!
