Orchid Question

[QiGongGuy]

By submitting a poll I have decided to go with plastic for caging, but I don't know what to put in! Do they need coconut hide as substrate or a lot of foilage and stuff? Please help I'm ordering six of them next week and I want them all to have really nice cages! Pix help 2......Thanx, Carlos

Lots of people here are using sphagnum moss. I actually don't even have substrate for most of my mantises.

In an aquarium tank, I have sphagnum moss and some sticks. My mantises can climb on the walls with no problem.

There is no set way to do it. You can set up the tank however you want. For my orchid females I use a divided 2 1/2 gallon tank. I use a half inch of moist spahgnum moss in the bottom. Thats it.

I think i'll just put in some moss and a small plant.
