    How do you regulate your temperature?

    Since it is still a bit chilly in Michigan, hitting 55 at night requires heating and is no problem. I currently have no mechanism to regulate the higher temperature; currently 70 is as warm as the inside temperature has gone. That will change shortly, and ultimately I will move most of my Lepanthes inside (air conditioned) to a 55 gallon aquarium that has been fitted with a humidistat and fan. That will minimize day-night temperature fluctuations, but at least they will be cool--cooler than the 90 degrees that occasionally occurs in the greenhouse.
