Tropical Siberia

I published information of my orchiterrarium in some forums, but repeat

Construction. My orchiterrarium is made of a glass trading show-window. It dimensions is 80cm length x 50cm width x 130cm height. It is divided inside into 2 tight parts that the distilled water carnivorous plants did not blend whith the fertilised water for orchids. In a bottom of a terrarium two foramens for plum of waters. Orcid's part is had vertically, and occupies a back side of a orchiterrarium, the carnivorous part occupies the inferior horizontal part of a terrarium. They are divided among themselves by the glass septums glued by silicone.
Substrate. In a terrarium-part I use only pure longfiber peatmoss, a layer depth 15 cm. 5 years all my carnivorous plants fine grow in a pure peatmoss, the minus of a peatmoss is necessity to change it every year. In a orchidarium-part a substrate is the mix of a pine bark, charcoal and it is not enough moss.
Light. I have two fixtures, each one contain four T5 lamps by 57 watts. Totally 8 lamps of T5 57 watts. And on the top one fixture of two T8 28 watts lamp of yellow color, for nice coloration. This is light enough for very well growing of Vandas. The pitcher of carnivorous plant is red inside.
Watering. I watering carnivorous plants with a distilled water, which I do by "Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Tap Water Purifier", water turns out good and already almost year of a plant grow on it well. I watering orchids with distilled water too, but some time fertilizings. The ultrasonic humidifier is connected to an orchiterrarium through a hose. Humidity is sustained in him from 50 % in the afternoon, to 70 % at night. I have computer cooler 12 cm in diameter for an air circulacion iside. Last summer I become use misting system including the high pressure pump and 5 spray nozzles.
Dormancy. I tried to create all pathes conditions for a dormancy of carnivorous plants, illumination decrease (it is easy for making) and a cold. To lower temperature in a terrarium, even after connection of a refrigerator it was not possible to me. Therefore I have simply moved all carnivorous plants requiring a dormancy to the tight plastic big container and have placed for 3 months in a refrigerator.

Light, ultrasonic humidifier, cooler are power up or down by a timer. My orchyterrarium absolutely automatic, and I don't pay attention for care whith him Some time I fertilize plants, and once a week add 10 litres of distilled water in pump conteiner.
