Driftwood Miniatures - Ecuagenera

[Clawhammer]

Hello friends!

I was reorganizing and I found a piece of driftwood that I used in a large aquarium that I am going to use to mount orchids. I am going to order 5-6 from Ecuagenera.

My temps are 62-85
Water 2-3x a day

I want small and short plants. Foliage is as important as flowers.

I am thinking lepanthes, lepanthopsis, pleurothalids, restrepia. I don't have much knowledge with these apart from the handful I grow and thought I would solicit shopping advice from the kind folks here.

Thanks in advance!

Well, there's not a prettier leaf than Lepanthes calodictyon - with those dramatic little red flowers. Restrepias just have green leaves, but the flowers are super-cute and tend to be in bloom pretty much all the time (depending on species... Restrepia condorensis is my most reliable non-stop bloomer) Scaphosepalums (pretty much most of them once established) tend to also have non-stop flowers. And Trisetella - again, they are all cute. Trisetella hoeijeri looks like little birds. Trisetella triglochin has pretty red flowers, there are quite a few other species that are similar.

Thanks for the great advice (as always)! Unfortunately calodictyon is not available but I found a couple other lepanthes with pretty leaves.

I will check out the scaphosepalums and trisetellas
