This new system is delivering the fog horizontally, cascading down about two thirds of the back wall and the right side, enveloping the plants mounted there in a cool mist, and filling the whole vivarium with fog in about 3-4 [...]]]> http://www.orchidkarma.com/fog-system-2-0/feed/ 9 Cool vivarium – some fine tuning and upgrades http://www.orchidkarma.com/cool-vivarium-%e2%80%93-some-fine-tuning-and-upgrades/ http://www.orchidkarma.com/cool-vivarium-%e2%80%93-some-fine-tuning-and-upgrades/#comments Wed, 01 Dec 2010 18:38:55 +0000 Karma http://www.orchidkarma.com/?p=3193 For the past few weeks I have been working on a few  long awaited upgrades for the cool vivarium. Well, long awaited for me, I am not a very patient person… Now they are finally all done and I am very pleased with the results. So here is an updated photo of the viv [...]]]> http://www.orchidkarma.com/cool-vivarium-%e2%80%93-some-fine-tuning-and-upgrades/feed/ 22 A humid lift for the room http://www.orchidkarma.com/a-humid-lift-for-the-room/ http://www.orchidkarma.com/a-humid-lift-for-the-room/#comments Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:35:47 +0000 Karma http://www.orchidkarma.com/?p=2860 Alright… I have spent so much time on the cool vivarium lately that I have kind of neglected the rest of the room a little. So today I took some time to spruce things up a little. The humidity delivery system needed an upgrade, so I got the humidifier all cleaned up (soaking it, well [...]]]> http://www.orchidkarma.com/a-humid-lift-for-the-room/feed/ 2 Cool vivarium – let it rain… and fog… and yeah, it is done! http://www.orchidkarma.com/cool-vivarium-%e2%80%93-let-it-rain-and-fog-and-yeah-it-is-done/ http://www.orchidkarma.com/cool-vivarium-%e2%80%93-let-it-rain-and-fog-and-yeah-it-is-done/#comments Sun, 09 May 2010 16:10:37 +0000 Karma http://www.orchidkarma.com/?p=2509 Alright… the past few weeks have been very eventful in the orchid department, but I have also been extremely busy at work and I have not had time to write about everything that has been going on, mainly the cool vivarium build… but here we go.

Last time I checked in I had just [...]]]> http://www.orchidkarma.com/cool-vivarium-%e2%80%93-let-it-rain-and-fog-and-yeah-it-is-done/feed/ 16 Masdevallia vs. the wallpaper http://www.orchidkarma.com/masdevallia-vs-the-wallpaper/ http://www.orchidkarma.com/masdevallia-vs-the-wallpaper/#comments Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:17:06 +0000 Karma http://www.orchidkarma.com/?p=2146 I have two very nice Masdevallia tovarensis orchids. Both of which are in bud right now. One bud opened early in December and it was beautiful!! But the rest are just sitting there, waiting. Waiting for what!?! Every day  go in there looking, hoping, waiting. But nothing.

I finally figured out that I think they [...]]]> http://www.orchidkarma.com/masdevallia-vs-the-wallpaper/feed/ 8 Humidifier round 2: Perhaps not quite as cool looking… http://www.orchidkarma.com/humidifier-round-2-perhaps-not-the-same-sex-appeal/ http://www.orchidkarma.com/humidifier-round-2-perhaps-not-the-same-sex-appeal/#comments Sun, 15 Feb 2009 17:48:15 +0000 Karma http://orchidkarma.com/?p=675 …but it has the same capacity and it will work on a timer! I ran the other humidifier for a little while and although it is doing a really good job (perhaps too good), I know myself… if I cannot control it 100% I will get frustrated with it.

But luckily I had saved the receipt and the store where I had gotten it took it back, no questions asked. In exchange, I added 100 kronor (about $12) and got an ultrasonic unit from HACE (MJS-400) instead. Sweet!!

This has a 5 liter [...]]]> http://www.orchidkarma.com/new-humidifier-for-the-orchid-room/feed/ 2
