Ich habe Orchideen schon immer geliebt, aber es fiel mir schwer, sie am Leben zu halten. Ich habe Rindenmischungen, Spagnummoos, Wasserkultur, Halbwasserkultur ausprobiert, aber nichts hat geholfen. Schließlich habe ich Schluss gemacht und sie alle einen Winter lang bestiegen. Jetzt, etwas mehr als ein Jahr später, denke ich, dass es ihnen gut geht. Dies ist eine Mischung aus Phals, Dendrobium, Cattleya und Brassavola.

I forgot the discussion part of my post! Do you guys think orchids are hard to keep alive/thriving as opposed to other types of plants?
My orchids are incredibly jealous of your setup! They’ve been “alive” for over a year, but I can tell they long for the trees. I have them in terracotta pots with holes in a bark mixture with some moss but I think I’m gonna try what you’ve got going on!!
I’ve not found them to be any more or less difficult than other houseplants.
What kind of bark(s) do you use?
What kind of lights do you use nice setup
Very impressive!
Nice! Just about to start a similar project, but going to wrap them around terracotta planters instead so i can keep moisture coming from the inside!
Used to have something like this. My orchids were thriving because of those lights! So many keikis I was just giving away lol Anyway, with a set up like that, orchids are not too different from any other plant difficulty-wise.
Looks clean and well thought out. Just watch airflow and heat buildup: those lights can create hot spots over orchids. A small fan and a bit more distance between leaves and lights will prevent stress and leaf damage. Solid setup overall, better to fine-tune slowly than overcorrect.
