I just set up some grow lights for my indoor terrarium and I'm a little worried. I placed a thermometer inside and it says it's about 95 degrees inside the terrarium. I have a Heliamphora Minor arriving later on Wednesday and I'm wondering if it'll be okay inside the terrarium.
Can you add a CPU fan or two. I have two "wardian cases" that i grow orchids and my Heli and Cephs in. Both have CPU fans that run during the day and just sporadic at night. They both have a single CFL. There have been a few times the fans die and i have to close the blinds to keep the sun out... or they get hot fast. The cases aren't air tight either so i would think a standard sealed tank might heat up faster.
The heli seems to like it just fine and grows and flowers.
you should leave a gap anyway for air circulation leave about 15% of it open and if you use a small fan it should helpp circulate the air and lower temps
