Ah, yes, the cute raspberry one! Adding it to the list. The P. misera seems to like it both in this tank and on the mini-wall, although it's just been up two weeks or so.

There are just so many interesting species!
Found a few (erh... promise! :D ) more nice ones at Wubben I'll be getting:
Bulbophyllum dolchioglottis, Aerangis punctata, Bulbophyllum longissimum, Restrepia dodsonii and Dendrobium Nestor.
(only the dolchioglottis and possibly the Aerangis for this tank though).

Picture update.
New, better camera, and the w*nker behind it starts to know what he's doing (switching from compact to system camera was a bit of an upgrade).
Things are growing, except for the B frostii, which is still in shock, I guess, although it might have sprouted some roots, hard to tell.
Hitchhikers have multiplied by the bizillion, mainly two sorts of fern, and I uninstalled the big fat thing clinging to the lights in the top, which looks like a birch with fuzzy leaves.
There was also a big hairy Begonia, now potted on its own, that one is going to get big, I think...

That's looking really nice.

Things are growing.
Some a lot, some a bit less. Ferns being the former, I now count four species, one of which I'll have to clean out ASAP, because in a small tank, there's not really room for a Phlebodium..

Lepanthes telipogoniflora in bloom, three spikes so far.
When I mounted it, it dropped a half-dead leaf, which seems to have started growing in the moss on the bottom. Pic is a week old, noticed the new growth to be 3 mm yesterday, so definetly likes it there.

Bulbophyllums frostii (foreground) and taiwanense starts to sprout as well after months of sulking.
Other bits and bobs too, the white and purple one is Chirita tamiana, the begonia came as a hiker with the moss mix, but it had to be transplanted outside, leaves are 8x12 cm and growing.

I'll hijack my own thread a bit to show my green wall as well:
Setup is 50x50 cm acrylic with a small tank inside at the top and a larger tank at the foot. 18W 6500K PAR38 lamp.
Base is epiweb, covered with hygrolon that wicks from both top and bottom.
Moss mix, ferns and orchids.
Bulbophyllum putidum, fascinator, sikkimense.
Aerangis citrata and fastuosa.
Pleurothallis niveoglobula and truncata.
Platystele misera
Barbosella cucullata
Dendrobium Berry Oda
Restrepia elegans
Epidendrum porpax

E. porpax is currently in bloom.
The A. fastuosa has bloomed once. The citrata was about to bloom in a few weeks, but the bl**dy cat decided to eat two of three spikes, the b*stard.
The Berry Oda is also in spike, and one of the bulbos might also be spiking, not sure which is which though.

Gesneriads are remarkably easy from seed. Sown directly onto moss in a nice terrarium, I would expect very high germination rates. There is a society in the US with a seed bank. I don't know what is involved in mailing seed from the US to Europe, but packets of dust-like seed easily travel in letter envelopes. Perhaps there is also a European society. Just remember, before ordering too many packets, Gesneriads are remarkably easy from seed....

Both the wall and the terrarium are very cool.

In your recent post, the one with three pictures (img3408), there is a small fern growing near the orchid. Do you happen to know the name of the fern? I've been growing a new batch of moss from some old Folius dry moss mix and little ferns just like that one in your picture have started to grow.

Beautiful tank, btw. I have been thinking of trying something similar myself, but I just keep putting it off till I retire. :)

That's why I only got one. Hoping I don't have to go all Agent Orange on all possible seedlings.
These are rather popular around here as well, and there are societies and facebook groups in abundance.
Strangely, many of the members seem to coincide with orchid groups... odd :biggrin:

Thanks!
I have no idea what fern it is... yet. But it's highly prolific, on that 50x50 cm plate there are hundreds of them sprouting, so there'll have to be some pruning soon.

It doesn't take that much time to build a tank, especially when there are plug & play options regarding both tank, tech and background/substrate.
My advise is: go big. In a small tank like this, everything larger than a strawberry feels like a bull in a china shop.
