[QUOTE="Graceface, post: 322886, member: 11024"] [USER=10304]@Connor[/USER] You are a lucky guy! Im jealous 😊 Glad you've had success with a low cost Orchid setup. Not everyone can make that work for a tropical species. Temperatures and humidity can vary widely, depending on where you live. In my area, ambient indoor RH is 30% (or lower with heat on). Even daily misting isn't enough to maintain high humidity inside my enclosures. I couldnt imagine keeping my orchids humid enough without a humidifier and controller! Temps here can fall well below Orchid range if left at 'room' temp. Even the warmest spot in my house wouldn't stay the right temp in the winter without added heat sources. There is more than one way to get things done, true, but the best (and safest) way to be sure you provide the specific conditions a tropical mantis needs is to use climate control. [/QUOTE]
