Hi Pops,
I'd kill to have a greenhouse...
What growing medium are you using? I am growing mine in live long fibre sphagnum under bright lighting and they seem to be quite happy in it.
They also seem to appreciate a good drenching with water (I use reverse osmosis) from overhead every once in a while (in the morning). I also have around an inch of water at the base of the pots as well.
The room in which my plants are growing usually hangs around 50-60% humidity during the day (higher at night), but they are in an aquarium, so the humidity is likely higher in that microclimate.

Thanks David, I'll be sure to commit the encryption code to memory and swallow the key if necessary... I really like your setup, by the way. regards, dvg
