Indoor greenhouse.

[mjk412]

Hey everybody. First post here. So unfortunately, I need to keep my indoor greenhouse in my basement. I have no room for it in my living room room, or bedroom. Or the spare bedrooms where my kids are. Lol. So I need to keep this in my basement where the winters get cold. Basement stays about 60°. My question is on my set up. I want to keep Nepenthes, maybe a few sundews. Maybe an orchard that my wife just bought.

This is how it looks. But I added a humidifier and fans. Not seen in the pic. In this set up, I have a radiator heater and oil filled radiator heater. And I have a humidifier in there. When I have the humidifier on low it stays about 55%. If I have it on high humidity, it can get up to 90%. I have a fan on the bottom right angled up . And at the top left , I have another fan Blowing down. This is in a cold basement.

My question is. How can I improve the set up for the nepenthes? How should my fan placement be? Humidity. Anything I can do or add to make this better? Thank you.

You have next to zero need for a humidifier, the plants will do that well enough on their own in an enclosed space (your measurements now mean nothing once factoring in the active transpiration of the plants in there). If it's cold, take the heater out and the ambient conditions will make it conducive for highlanders, with the lights giving heat during the day that dissipates at night.
Biggest add is: will the lights be enough? If you're planting on both shelves the plants on the second one down will need ones above them...but also most Nepenthes will eventually outgrow those heights.
