A selection of fine jewels
I love these things...
Anoectochilus roxburghii
Anoectochilus formanosum
Anoectochilus chapaense - these get pretty big for jewels
Goodyera schlectendaliana
Dossinia marmorata - somebody tell me this is different than Macodes sanderiana (I can't find anybody to sell me a M. sanderiana)

I can't speak to the ones he posted, but the ludisia discolor and macodes petola that rob sold me last fall are doing great! the ludisia might take over the shelf it's sitting on though...
at least the macodes is staying small.
I grow them warm, shady, and damp.
pictures to follow.

Orchidarium is perfect. Wet, not so much as evenly moist. They aren't really designed to dry out.

If only source of water is the misters, will that work? "Moist" might be on the dry side of what these would get. But 400-500 FCs light.

I don't have misters in my vivs, but they stay pretty wet. They do well under those conditions. The Goodyera schlectendaliana is probably the most tolerant of really drippy conditions, but they are all pretty tolerant.
