Miniature species I keep/kept:
Dracula lotax (died after I got out of the hospital, of course it bloomed while I was gone)
Dendrobium moniliforme - growing like a weed lol
Liparis gibbosa (miss this one so much, died when I was in the hospital last summer )
Masdevallia erinacea - growing well
pleurothallis stricta (first pleurothallid I tried, learned what not to do for them lol..... )
Schoenorchis fragrans - growing well, 4 new leaves this year
Zootrophion atropurpureum - new but doing well
(would list the seedlings I have but they will be huge later in life lol)


I know of a few other small species (some have been on my want list for a long time), but thought getting a list with care info made would be helpful to people who are just starting out with miniature species.


edit: remembered another species I kept
