It loves the strong sun shine and doesn't like artificial lighting, so I wouldn't suggest putting it into viv. |

Mexipedium xerophyticum also loves it VERY dry... too much water rots them right out of the pot.
Smaller growth Paph. species (legal) would include Paph. barbigerum, Paph. helenae, Paph. niveum, and as Fren said, most of the Brachypetalums (though their leafspans can get a little long, and Paph. concolor has somewhat taller spikes)...
As for Phrag, my smallest one is Phrag. fischeri... the leafspan is about 10 inches, and is quite compact. My Phrag. schlimii has a leafspan of about 2 or more feet... here's both species (3 different plants)
Phrag. fischeri
Phrag. sclimii (#1)
Phrag. schlimii (#2)
