New Jar Terrarium

[Kevinator]

So I wanted to make a display case for some of my orchids (since my other one wasn't really meant for looks) and found a large jar that my mother used to make pickled vegetables in. I decided to mount one of my Restrepia brachypus keikeis onto a dead branch of our blood orange tree. btw does citrus wood make a ok mounting material? Anyways, I've been taking some of the moss I found in my baskets and tied it with the Restrepia. So far my plan is to mist it daily with RO water and see how it goes. My other Restrepia in a bottle seems to be doing fine so far with this treatment.

Looks cool!

It looks quite a bit better than my plastic water bottle solution for humidity. Nice!

I've always heard that wood from any sort of fruit tree is safe, as long as it's free of disease. Cool idea!

I like it! Perhaps adding some gravel and water would keep it humid enuf without the spritz each day-but whatever works for you!

You could put some hydroton in the bottom and a layer of sphagnum moss over the top to maintain humidity.
