Question Regarding Epidendrum Longirepens
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone here grow Epidendrum Longirepens? I'm looking to grow this orchid in my terrarium. I chose this orchid not because of the flowers, but because of the conditions it can thrive in. I need something that can take quite a bit of light and tolerate warmer conditions. It also needs to be a micro-miniature orchid, taking up no more space than 3 inches by 4 inches.
Would anyone suspect that this epi could tolerate 3000-4000 FC of light for 10 hours a day? There is a fan blowing on the area in my terrarium. It also has 80%-100% humidity at all times. The area I'd like to place it is right underneath a 100W equivalent LED bulb. It's probably around 80-85 degrees in that area if I had to estimate. The rest of the tank sits at around 70-75.
If anyone else has suggestions for a different plant, please let me know. I'm not really a huge fan of the flower, but just need something that can tolerate the conditions.
