Cloud forest plants

[Larssh]

Hello everyone

I am seeking som inspiration for plants to put in my cloud forest vivarium like mosses, ferns and other small species that grow in the south american cloud forest,together with my Masdevallias and Draculas. Any suggestions are more than welcome

I think small Utricularia, Drosera or Pinguicula would look nice. They are all carnivorous plants and are great with fungus gnats. Utricularia can easily become a bit invasive, though. Pings are the best looking out of these in my opinion. They have green, succulent like leaves with bright purple/pink flowers. For any of the carnivorous plants, rain/RO/distilled water is preferable, although any water lower than 100ppm is fine.

Here's a list of South American carnivorous plants.

Maybe try Lepanthes if you are looking for other orchids to add.

If I could maintain cool humid conditions year round I couldn't imagine NOT keeping as many different Dendrobium cuthbertsoniii as I could fit/afford!

Bolero and Subrosa it is more the all the small plants and mosses that grow with the orchids, that iam looking for. But thanks for the feedback and suggestions :-)

Most of the mosses and such I have growing in my almost cloud forest (it's too warm to really qualify) hitch hiked in on my orchids and my Ant Plant.
