Was fun trying to balance and take this photo. I had to stick my phone into the terrarium from the top and stand on a step stool.

Adorable and that is a fantastic pic! I really love this tiny species. Mine just started to bloom and it’s been the hardest little thing to get a decent photo of

Are you growing yours with the mount horizontal in your tank?

Hi! Thank you! No, LOL. That was just how I was bending my arm to get the photo. Below is a photo of its actual orientation.

And I guess I can show off the entire tank. A repurposed 35 gal hexagonal fish tank. Its at a little over 6 months old now. its got 4 orchids:

1 Platystele umbellata
1 Dracula nycterina (in spike will post bloom pic)
2 Dracula lotax

Its not a biotope tank but just my conceptualization of an Andean cloud forest.
