Hello all! Its been a while since I have checked in here.... I lost my account subscription about a year back but I didn't forget about you guys. Now I'm freshly renewed and back at it.
My current project is to build a highland nep/heli/ceph terrarium for easy enjoyment in my home. I will be collecting supplies over the next week and putting it together as soon as possible. Basically I will have a screen cover on the tank with t5s, a humidifier and a small heater both of which hooked up to a controller to keep levels where I want them. I am thinking of laying LFS betwen pots and possibly dropping some Drosera seed to spice up the place.
I have a few questions that are quite generalized as I will have the before mentioned group of plants mixed in. What temp should I aim for as far as daytime and nighttime? I know helis and highland neps like a decent differential between night and day temp but how much is overkill? Also, what humidity level should I aim for as ideal?
I'k get pics up as soon as things start to take shape.
My bog garden that I installed last spring has matured quite a bit as well. This being the second year for most of the plants should result in some beautiful pitchers and traps. Will definitely have pics up in my old bog garden thread soon!
