Default Re: Humidity and Temp Cycle Necessary for L/L?

Hello All-

Thank you to all that responded to my inquiry.

Currently, my 10" N. bical is housed alone in a 50 gal. hexagon terror-rium, and yes, I do have a greenhouse for it. The reason I have it in a terror-rium is because it is my favorite nep which I would like view it daily, easily and frequently.

The heat and temp are at a constant 85 degrees and 97% humidity 24/7, and after two weeks of receiving it, it is already producing a new leaf (I may have to slightly cut back on its current growing conditions or else I may only view it for a couple of months before it outgrows its current home he, he, he). As far as lighting, it is next to a large window, so it does get some bright shade for about 4-6 hours a day (if its not raining here in Oregon boo hoo hoo).

So, I guess being an ultra-lowlander, a drastic drop in temp and humidity aren't really necessary for the like of a bical, raff or amp.

But please keep all the comments, suggestions and advice coming.

Thanks and Good Growing,
E
