humidifier

When I run the fan it kills the humidity. But I know highlands such as hamata need the air circulation. My hamata got real bad when the humidity dropped too low and I didn't run a humidifier. I sealed it up repotted in LFS and ran the humidifier around the clock and it recovered but other neps...

Apparently I'm an idiot. I was refilling the tank on my ultrasonic humidifier, and left it turned on while I did so. On my model, the tank lifts up and off from the base, which is where the ultrasonic wafer is. Well, I got the tank off, and the humidifier turned on. There is a little basin...

I've seen those orchiariums and all what it looks like is a sealed up box with shelves lined with myler. A glass window in front to view and enclose it. But how hard would it be to make one yourself? Get some wood. Seal it so water won't damage it over time. Line it with myler. Cut out a hole...

So in my previous house, the ambient temperatures were always around 75 F (23 C) and I kept my terrarium down in the basement where the temperature would get to about 65 (18 C) at night with the fluorescent lights off. I recently moved and am now in a house at around 80 degrees with no...

I have a growrack that I setup primarily to deliver light to my neps, as I don't get enough natural light from the windows. Secondarily, I use it to keep humidity high. It's normally around 25 - 30% humidity here. I have clear cellophane and mylar encasing it with an automatic humidifier...

I was looking for a small humidifier for my terrarium (30 gal) and came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Reptile-Humidimat-Terrarium-Humidifier-15-x4_W0QQitemZ200040763229QQihZ010QQcategoryZ1285QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247#ebayphotohosting Can anyone...

What are some of the worst maintenance tasks that you have to do in relation to your CP hobby? For me, it's cleaning out the humidifier. Currently I'm using a heat based one, and it boils away the water leaving nasty mineral buildup that has to be cleaned every few months. It's disgusting...

Hi Terra forums, My Nepenthes have been pretty much having the time of their lives thanks to the humidifier that I know most of you are tired of hearing me rave about.:-D Anyway, its Sunday night and I just noticed mildew on my wall, which must have happened due to the high humidity. Obviously...

Here's where i grow some other CPs with my orchid collection inside. I have a ultrasonic humidifier pumping into the case to keep humidity up and temps down a bit. D_capensis H_minor x hex - It is finally putting out adult pitchers... and at the same time constantly adding growth points. So...

I'm new to CPing but I've studied the hobby very intensely for the past month or so, read 3 books on it and read lots of the posts in this forum as well online articles about CPs. I bought a Low Giant VFT about 2 weeks ago. It's newest leaves/traps are wrinkled and the trap part is kind of oval...

I have a couple new venus fly traps and on some days I'm going to need to turn on a humidifier to maintain its desired humidity. They require distilled or reverse-osmosis purified water - but, can I use tap water in the humidifier, or do I actually need to get purified/distilled water for that...

Hey, descriptive photos of my growroom have been requested, and I thought I'd post the photos here for future reference. I grow in a basement room, which has a small window and is accessible from below my deck. In the summer, I put a fan in the window blowing in at night so it cools down enough...

I've had this Ventricosa for over 8 months, and its finnaly making decent sized pitchers and A FLOWER!! I noticed it about 4 days ago but haven't gotten a chance to post it. My first Nep flower! Can anyone hazard an educated guess at whether its male or female? I'll be looking into making seeds...

I'm searching threads and haven't stumbled upon a good thread yet, but I know I've seen them in the past. I'm currently working a misting system for my various plants. There's two reasons for it. One, I can't keep changing the humidifier tank every day (or twice a day). If I skip a day...

I return from lurking with a whole string of questions, and a bit of a background story to help put this all in perspective (This is a MUST be done situation, not a "I just want to"). Oh and an apology for any unintentional ranting that may come up. My daughter, otherwise known as "The Tropical...

Hello everyone, today I wish to point out a problem I have ran into regarding reverse osmosis systems and or membranes. As most of you know, I have been using AND recommending www.wattspremier.com for years for their RO systems, filters, membranes etc. Today I wish to point out that they are...

My ventrata and miranda have not made an pitchers ever since i moved them inside for the winter. To counter act the 40% humidity i bought a bunch of shelving, wrapped some plastic sheeting around it to keep humidity high and stuck a humidifier on the bottom shelf and my plants above it. Since...

The Europeans make really nice terrariums. I care nothing for aesthetics. My gods are Frugality, Miserness, and Spendthrift. My number one concern is cost, which is why I embarked on attempting to build a cheap yet sufficiently large chamber. My old one was way too small and crappy. It was...

Hello all! Happy Holidays! I am in the process of constructing a highland terrarium and would like some advice. The terrarium is ~ 122cm long x 61cm deep x 56cm high and I need to address the issue of humidity. In the event that my method of cooling (2 fans circulating air through a closed...

Hi guys. I'm pretty new to this whole thing, only been at if for a few months. Anyways, I have an N. x velvet, that seems to be doing pretty well, but today I noticed some tiny little bugs running around on top of the soil. They resemble beatles a little bit, but are super tiny, and are a...
