"New" orchid cabinet with drip wall.

From my first post:

I used ordinary clear Glass Silicon as glue.

No problem Zack!
I first glued the Hygrolon to the front of the panel, and then to the top and bottom by folding over the excess. No hygrolon on the back or sides of the mounts. After the glue dried I trimed off excess material with a pair of kitchen scissors.

Update: 3 month ofter last pictures and with a massive pruning of undesired moss last week!

 

Update on demand

28th of October 2013, the cabinet have been running for about 15-16 month with only the LED as light source.

 

As you may see there is a Lepanthes telipogoniflora in the centre that you can see a close up her:

and under that you have a Lepanthes calodictyon:

Up in the top there is a flowering Dendrobium cuthbertsonii that also have grown in the cabinet for a year. Unfortunate it is a little to warm and it is has not opened it´s flower complete :-(

 

I go slow with filling up this cabinet. I just want to see what species work in the environment.
I noted your comment on Mika´s nano-vivarium that only needed water every 10th day. My setup only need to be filled up with 50 liter of water every second month...

For moving plants the bakground is divided into slabs that easily can be moved around. The back wall is built up from 2*4 section containing 3*3 small slabs or 2*2 larger slabs. This system make it possibly to create several different setups with small and large slabs depending on how you combine the segments. The sides of the cabinet is built up by 2*2 of these sections.
I will try to take pictures during the comming weekend.

 

I just cut it in half where I would like to divide a plant!

When dismounting a plant from a cork mount, most of the roots will be unaffected when the Epiweb slab are cut comparing with removing a plant completely from cork (where almost ALL roots will be harmed). Epiweb does not degrade over time and is UV-stable. There is no need to repot or remount due to substrate degradation as the material does not degrade.

I though must say that I do not use Epiweb or Hygrolon for all my plants. I use the material that I think is the best for each particular plant under my three very different growing conditions (windowsill, large growing cabinet and drip wall cabinet).
