Nightstand lantern.

Here they are!





I somehow managed to find enough live moss too make a small bed for the super tiny pluero. It's so cute, and perfect for this spot.



The trichosalpinxn took forever to place.
I seriously spent 30 minutes repositioning it.
The haraella got moved together. They need a little fiddling, but I like where they are.

The leptotifolia got moved higher up, to where the the haraella was.
Not too sure if I'm sold its spot.
But I feel like it would like climbing the main rock.

Looks awesome! I am sure they will do great, they do have everything they need, light and moisture, and humidity. Can't wait to see the lantern in few months, hopefully many mini's will bloom together at the same time :-)

I had a dream about that last night!
All of my orchids in that lantern were in bloom the same time!
It was magical lol.

I hope to see them like that one day.

That's so sweet.
I really hope so. I've always wanted one those displays.

No worries, it will happen, astrophora once it starts spiking it can pretty much bloom nonstop for months and months, so does Haraella, and telipogoniflora, these 3 can produce one bud spike after the other, so add to it some of the rest you have there and Red Carpet show can begin! I have at some times maybe even 10 miniatures blooming at my hygrolon cylinder - but there is some 30 mounted, so that makes it easier:-)

You do!
This whole lantern takes less space than most of my bigger orchids.
It's hard to argue with 8 orchids in the space of one.

I'm so excited for that day!
My telipogoniflora is a blooming machine.
I'm trying to watch for more astrophora spikes, but it seems to be in new growth mode.

My god. I've had that question for years. No one ever answered it.
I didn't buy live moss. And I'm assuming it's sphagnum.

What's happening is the dead moss used on the mounts is growing again.

That being said a moss mix that comes with rave reviews online is the Moss mix by Folius.
Which I will order one day.
