Hi guys, I'm from Poland and I have graduated biotechnology recently. I haven't visit this forum for a while, however this is here where my fascination with Phelsuma have started. I have learnt a lot from people on this forum, both in arranging a terrarium/viv and in keeping Phelsuma. I ould like to show you my vivarium which I have since I joined GU, that is 2009. This is my tribute to all of you, GU users! Thank you for sharing with your knowledge :) :banana:

Thank you. My goal from the beginning was to make it functional for the geckos and at the same time aesthetically pleasing.
And this is how it looked like at the beginning. Things has grown over a bit since then ;)



If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I will be happy to answer.

That's insane! How long did it take for those plants to become established? A lot of orchids, right? I always laugh when people say how difficult they are, but not when you have the right environment.

I have this viv for about 5 years and plants come and go so it's hard to say. I added last plants 4 months ago whereas others are grand-grandchildren of mother plants :). As to orchids, I found it crucial to finnd out microniches in the viv, some spots have more light, are more wet etc. and than to choose right orchid species fot that spots. Many orchids grow like weeds and are very robust.

@specialf
I don't have a list, but I know all the plants by heart. Here are some of the orchids:
Pleurothallis grobyi

Pleurothallis sertularioides

Bulbophyllum lasiochilum

Microsaccus griffithi

Platystele stenostachya

Dendrobium harveyanum
