Hi folks,

Just a general comment about humidity, and this applies to
terraria, greenhouses and even windowsills - grow lots of plants!

And not just CPs - grow anything which will tolerate the same
conditions. More plants = more leaves = more surface area for
transpiration. Keep them well watered and the end result is
atmospheric humidity.

All the best orchid nurseries I have been to have tanks of water
under the staging and LOTS of ferns.
