I've been debating about adding one of these to my nep tent for some time now, as it's an (relatively) inexpensive alternative to an automatic misting system.
However, my first, and only, experience with these has constantly been a warning siren in my head.
Years ago, I used an ultrasonic...
In spite of my difficulties growing Pings, I can grow orchids really well. First, a picture of a Laelia angereri x L. katsukiana:
This is a primary hybrid of two rock laelias from Brazil. They can grow well outside in Arizona, as long as they are given some shade in the afternoon, and a...
Recorded temperature through the day. Although, the average temperature is around 73 during the day and in the 60's at night.
High - 77
Low - 66
Humidity
High - 100 (Although the humidity seems to drop 10% every 3 hours or so. It starts to drop when the light turns on. Had I not spray the tank...
Recently, my current highland chamber humidifier/misting system broke, and I need advice from successful growers about what I should replace it with. Specifically, I am looking for a system that puts out more of a fog than mist, to allow for higher humidity to be attained without all of the...
Here's a link to a pic of my all time favorite plant from a fragrance standpoint. This morning in light fog and calm conditions that small plant perfumes the whole front of my house. I really wish I could upload that scent! It's considered an endangered species in PA where I live, although it's...
Hello Folks!
My name is Chris, and I am a timelapse photographer. Rather than going for the iconic tortured tree in front of a starfield my interests have turned towards plants and studio work.
I wanted to start this thread to document my progress, and hopefully get some tips on how to get...
Once I was in a store and there was a corner in which some really strange plants were standing.
They shall eat meat or something like that and they are probably dangerous. No risc no fun. I took one of the glistening with the sticky leaves.

Good afternoon everyone!

Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Chris, and I am a hopeless forum junkie. I really hope to learn a lot from you folks :)
I run a company building motion control systems for timelapse photography and i have been getting into what I call Biolapse. I have put...
if you use tap water is the mist that comes off an ultrasonic fog maker pure h2o like distilled water or does it still have the minerals from the tap
its one of those Halloween foggers
Hi all,
I'm brand new to CPs and tomorrow I'm taking delivery of three Sundews and two VFTs. Now, I want to add them into an existing terrarium I have. The terrarium currently houses some moss, two bromeliads, a tilandsia and some kind of fern. The medium consists of a mixture made of peat...
I acquired several Drosera last summer but when transfering to new containers several weeks later I forgot what was what. I believe the one in this picture is a spatulata but would like to double check that. It's preparing to flower so it must be happy. I have been told on several occasions that...
I have had mine less than a month and the humidity side has become defective reading humidity in the 40% range when in fact it is in the low 80% range. I placed it in the fog stream and it only reached 69%. Anyone have a better brand in mind? It worked long enough to confirm the accuracy of the...
I have read quite a bit on line about other people's ideas and experiences and have decided to go with a thermo-electric set-up for now on my small five gallon aquarium and later after they are bigger with the refrigeration system out of my old dorm style fridge in a larger set-up. First I am...
My Sharper Image Humidifier died today. I've had it running nearly 24/7 for the past 2 years... What would you guys suggest I get as a replacement? I would prefer something with a larger reservoir. Also it has to have a round exit for the fog otherwise I have to buy a bunch of other crap to get...
Enjoy! :)
I changed my iPod name to Titanic. It's syncing now.
I tried to catch some Fog. I mist.
When chemists die, they barium.

It still needs a little work to be 100% complete but is already a huge improvement over my old terrarium.
-first of all it is much bigger. Can fit about 4 10 gallon fish tanks inside it so my plants are much more comfortable.
-secondly the humidity control is much improved. I added a...
OK folks, I have a terrarium that is about 3 feet by 2 feet by about 18 inches tall. The utrics and Drosera in there are all in live moss and were it not for the aphids that persist despite neem, soap/oil spray and total immersion in water for as long as 5 days... they and the D. prolifera...
Thought I'd start a new thread since I just got a bunch of new Nepenthes with a veitchi k on the way and a veitchi candy striped not too far behind.
Heres some pics of the HL chamber with its new fogger which hopefully won't die... as you can see its gotten pretty jam packed so if anyone knows...
Hey everyone,
Recently the fan on my zoomed reptifogger stopped working. I was able to replace it with another computer fan i had lying around but I'm thinking of getting a new fogger. I dont think the reptifogger is going to last much longer and I'm doubling the size of the current tank...
In mid-April I will be moving down to Mississippi for about three and a half months for a new job, and most of my plants are coming with me, but I just know those warm, steamy nights would do my Drosophyllum and Darlingtonia in quickly. So I'm wondering if I might be able to find someone in an...
