Is this a good temporary plant container?

I just received my plant order this morning. I put them in a 10 gallon tank, with the standard light fixture and saran wrap over the top.

I plan on misting once a day. The light's on a timer for 12 hours a day. Right now the temp says it's 79, and they have no ventilation. i could llift up along the front window if they need it. One question is are you supposed to keep the centers of the bromeliads filled with water, or is the misting enough?

First of all nice plants - where did you get them?

No, misting is fine, although you can keep it filled as long as you change it every once in a while.

Just a total guess but i would say Will in Florida. I really like the neo on the far left. that should hold em just fine, i wouldnt however mount in styrofoam, just cause it looks wierd and might not work right. You never know though.

Yes they're from Will in Florida (thefrogfarm.net). The one on the far left is a Neo Pimienta. The little one right next to it is a Neo Tirgina, and the ones that are almost all red are Neo Mariposa.

The plants will only be in this encloser for about a week, until their permanant one is finished. I'm working on siliconing coco fiber to the backround so I'm almost done.
