Orchids that do well in terrariums.

[JackieM]

I recently acquired a terrestrial orchid- Ludisdia Discolor and did some investigation on the growng conditions. It is a prime candidate for terrariums because it requires higher than normal temp. and humidity. Haven't created a terrarium yet, but it should look great with those gorgeous leaves.

Would you please publish Ludisia discolor's photograph? By any chance is it a synonym of Hamaera discolor, one of those beautiful jewel orchids long held as ideal subjects for terrarium? Let me correct your view about terrarium temperature. They need not necessarily ensure higher enclosure temperature but all that you get inside is higher humidity that enables plants looking fresh and bright all the time.
