These are the setups of the french pal: Kohléric:
Hello,
A short review of my setups where I grow lowland and highland species and hybrids.
Lowland terrarium :
dimensions : 1,75m X 1,20m X 0,60 m
I made it with polystyrene plate (extruded polystyrene, thickness : 2cm, joining with silicone paste) and wood. Wood and polystyrene are separated by a plastic film (absence of wood-water contact).
Lighting : two 125W "economic" bulbs
No heating
Under the terra, I have all of the electric connections and the misting system.
The fog is produced in a plastic box by an ultrasonic fogger, the fog is pushed by a pc ventilator. The system is only used 15 minutes per day (sufficient to have high humidity all the day).
the fog passes through the floor in a ventilation duct.
The nepenthes are very happy ;D

Lighting : 200W "economic" bulb
The cooling is produced in two way according to the period in the year. I live in France (temperate climate) and I used cold air in winter. In summer, a fridge is used.
At the right.
Photographs during construction :
Cooling is obtained by blowing on the cold plate.
The fridge compressor is installed at the back of terrarium in the base.
The cooling is controled by an electronic regulator, the temperature sensor is installed in top of the terrarium where the température is higher. The regulator is linked with fridge in summer and with a simple pc fan in winter.
I measured the temperature during the winter :
The humidity is controled by an electronic regulator. It's essential when I use cold and dry air in winter. The regulator is linked with an ultrasonic fogger and a pc fan.
With this two regulations the temperatures are 25°C (day, 77°F) and 15°C (night, 59°F) and the humidity is between 70 and 90 %RH.
The nepenthes are very happy ;D
