Mini Terrarium

[isurus79]

This is a little experiment of mine. I'm growing this plant attached to a tiny clay flower pot. The pot is inverted and placed in a bunch of LECA with a pool of water in the bottom. The water is wicked up to the clay pot, thus feeding the orchid. There is also a small Ghost Orchid (Poly. lindenii) on top and the green 'grass' is live spagnum moss. This might be a good way to grow small species that need high humidity in dry locations. I think I water this guy once a month or so. So far, so good.

I will be doing more experiments in the future using upside down clay flower pots as s/h vessels.
