suggestions?

[joeyo90]

ok im in to dart frogs but would now like some orchids to put in their vivariums
65-70 night time
74-78 daytime
humidity will be about 75-100%
i would like some do well growing epipytically ones that would fit into a 10'' cube would be good
i have ludisia discolor right now and will be getting macodes petola soon i also have a
Pleurothallis grobyi and i was told that it would adapt very well to those conditions

thanks
joe

Aboard Joe ... your moving in the right direction with your next purchase of macodes petola, they love like conditions of ludisia, I have my own thoughts on a grobyi, mine is on a mount, likes it's conditions but have learned recently they like to keep there feet (roots) exposed. Many of our OB members that are well versed in viv's and am sure they can help as well.

thank you
i was actually planning to mounting so that is good news thanks

I have the same temps in my orchidarium/vivarium, where I keep a green tree frog. I have a sister vivarium with the same light source and same temps that hold two D. pumilio. In the orchidarium I have Ludisia, Macodes, 4 Masdevallia sp, 1 Bulbophyllum, 3 miniature Cattleya, Phalaenopsis Mini Mark, Phalaenopsis javanica, Sophronitis, Haraella odorata, Angraecum, Encylia. Right now, I would highly suggest Ludisia, Macodes, for mounting I would suggest Miniature Cattleya, Haraella odorata, Bulbophyllums, and maybe even warm growing Masdevallias. FOr more info on my viv, take a look at this thread: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ated-pics.html
What kind of darts do you keep?

thanks!
i currently have
1.1 azureus
2.1 cobalt tincs
1.1 leucomelas
1.1 imitators
and about 45 tads i think... i forget how many hatched today
and i will be trying to get some stanard lamasi(good luck i know...) and basti pairs later this year

ive seen you post on dendroboard but i figured this post would be best if i moved it to an orchid forum

nice basti's btw

Bulbophyllums have some interesting flowers i think i may have to try them

thanks again for the help

Whoa! It pays to be well-versed in a subject.

I - just for a moment - thought Joey said he was getting a pair of llamas...

I guess they won't fit in the viv, huh?

[joeyo90]

well maybe a very very large viv lol this is what i was talking about

a pair of them might be kind of hard to get but i have a while till i start looking

[Tindomul]

Aww aren't they cuties. Hope you find them. How big exactly are those? Smaller than pumilio right?

[joeyo90]

think they are about the size of imitators im not sure on averege pumilio size as ive only ever seen a few (mostly basti's and mans creek) but im thinking a little smaller then basti's yes but bigger then escudo's and darklands ive heard they are really small
