    I grow it very well on then slats of oak and on hardwood. Just a bit of NZ moss on top (never under) the roots and not covering the rhizome. Whenever I get a plant from Andy I remove the moss he has on it. It just doesn't work in my conditions. I've grown this with both 50 and 56 minimum nights.

    I wonder what brand and model of foggers does everyone use? Is there any flexible pipe at the end of a fogger to bring the fog into a terrarium? How do you bring fog inside of terrarium?

    They are $60 at Petsmart. I have found that once you have about 40-50 plants in the tank (18x18x24) it is not really needed. I soak the tubing in a bleach solution to clean it.

    Thanks for the cultural tips Marni. That is exactly what I was looking for.
