Orchids for intermediate/cold terrarium

[Luca B.]

As you can see in my presentation tread i'm new to this world but i cultivate Nepenthes ssp. in an intermediate/highland terrarium; i'd like to add to this terrarium some miniature orchids wich will fits the same conditions i'm giving to them:

SUMMER:
Day 28 Night 20 (Tmax 29)
Humidity 65%

WINTER
Day 21° Night 12 (Tmin 10°)
Humidity 70%

LIGHTS LEVEL 1-13k Lux

I was looking at Aerangis but my concern is about winter temperatures,and also i prefer to keep them on pot more then on mounts.

Any suggestion on what species will fit those conditions?

Luca, you might want to consider Pleurothalid Alliance plants. There is a sub forum dedicated to Pleuros--this includes Masdevalia. Most Masides grow in higher elevations and flourish in the conditions you describe.

Hi Matt,many thanks! I never considered Masdevalia as i thought they need cooler temperatures in summer. If they can tolerate 30° they surely are a nice pick!
