Thanks so much!! I love these species, playsteles and scaphs are some of my favorite

[FroggyKnight]

Scaphs and Platystele are great terrarium species from what I've seen. I just wish they were easier to find! Breve and rapax are the two scaphs I mostly see and most vendors don't have many Platystele. Ecuagenera has really become my go to place for uncommon pleurothallids like these.

I like J&L, everything I bought from Ecuagenera has died (except for scaph. Breve yellow) I'll try them again at the Deep Cut NJ show tomorrow

Eh, it's kind of a gamble when buying imports. Some time you win, some times you lose. I'm typically ok with that but there are definitely times when I would rather buy from a US grower. J&L is a great vendor and has a pretty good variety of minis (great for terrarium culture!).

Here are a few more species that I've seen first hand in terrarium culture.

Pleurothallis eumecocaulon
Pleurothallis niveoglobula
Masdevallia bennettii
Lepanthes jubata
Trisetella hoeijeri

GREAT thanks AGAIN lol

[FroggyKnight]

No problem, happy to help! That P. eumecocaulon has a very pleasant fragrance BTW

Sorry for the lack of cultural information, I can try to dig it up if it's necessary for my additions to the list. Most should already be on IOSPE though.

if this is bad enough I am sitting in my science class reading and responding to these
