Hello!
I would like to share with you my humble collection of CPs :) all my plants are basicly new in my collection (just started) and they are accomodating. Criticism is welcome :) tell me what to improve.
Yesterday I was fighting with fungus in terra, hope it will be ok now.

I have changed a little bit, becouse of the fungus problem that I had. Now it looks more clean :)

Looks great! I say stay with this "clean" look. What kind of lighting are you using?
 
Without proper ventilation and air movement fungus is going to be a constant problem. You may want to invest in a couple small computer fans to move that stale air around a bit. Should help things tremendously.

I will stay with that :) I'm using T5 2x45W 10000K and 8500K

I've added yesterday one computer fan (left upper corner on the photo). Shall I put more?
 
Nice looking collection!
 
You could have two I suppose. One on one end blowing fresh air in, with another on the other end blowing air out. That way you have a constant circulation of fresh air. But hey, one fan is better than none.

Thanks :)

Thank you for your advises. I will change a little bit :)
 
This is not really a suggestion but more of a question that popped into my mind for the more experienced people.

Can the sphagnum moss grow directly on the bare egg-crate? Does sphagnum need to grow on any medium or does it only need water.

I heard that it will be ok with that. It grows better with soil underneath, but I've seen that sphagnum can grow on water only :)

'Looks like an excellent start. 'Lots to look at.

I just got a D. venusta a short while ago. I think it's going to be one of my favorites.
