I wont need to catch the drippings cuz im putting the cage on a big planter box so i can have all kinds of safe plants in there. The orchid will go in a small orchid pot in the cage above the soil though, cuz they need bark and little water. ;-) i also have light fixtures. just need a new bulb and i can start planting.
and thanks guys. And i need to give a big thanks to karen for the supplies.
