Thanks Irina for the advice that i will use with them as time goes! :) I will post updates if things change with them. I hope they continue to bloom nicely. Here's a picture from this morning:

The terrarium fits all my AVs and the top part is hinged. It also has two circular holes on each side. Maybe you can see one of the holes from the pic. Mostly I'm trying to keep them warm during the winter and safe all year round from the cat. :0)

Will work.

Meaow!

Very nice.I have a small one too.But I am not using it yet.

What a unique way to display your beautiful violets! I am envious! Rosie

Thanks Irina, Coculo & Rosie! It's getting colder where I am in N.Y. so this should help my plants during the winter. I'm shopping for a light if the natural light they get isn't enough. -Melanie :0)

Melanie -

stay warm. Do not go outside. Looks like the whole east coast is going to be buried in snow.

Probably something like under the counter light stick will work - depends what is the terrarium size.

Regarding being warmer inside the terrarium. If you install the light - yes, if not - it will be the same room temperature. And if it is sitting near the window - even cooler.

Regarding humidity ... It may not be that significant of an issue. I have had AVs in both a terr with fans for air circulation and in one that did not. AVs did well in both of them for years. Note:. Neither was a completely sealed terr so some air exchange undoubtably was present. The holes already in the upper peaks of your terr will likely be sufficient.

Depending upon just how much light you get from that window, supplemental lighting may be necessary.

Yup - leaving a crack for ventilation is good...
