Tin, your orchidarium is outstanding! This is the first one I've ever. Very very nice.

I think your ludisia will love it. But be careful with the sun. If you give it too much sun the leaves will lose their beauty.

Thanks Shadow...I saw a very small aquarium in an antique store the other day, I'm going to see if it's still there...it'll be at a bargain price, hee hee

Good luck and don't forget to make pictures when you get it. Is it an antique aquarium?

[Helen]

Not sure how old the aquarium might be. I wasn't interested in it at the time, so I didn't have a close look.
It was in the basement...junkier area...of the antique store. I should take pictures? you mean to see the progress of my little ludisia? or ??

[Shadow]

I mean photos of antique aquarium. But if it is glued, the glue won't survive that long to be antique....

And photos of ludisia at its new home too!

Thanks! I used coco-fiber siliconed to insulation foam, and driftwood.

I think your Ludisia will do fine in an aquarium with low lighting. Mine doesn't really get strong lighting at all, but is growing well.
