First small terrarium? Need inspiration.

Okay, going to jump right on in!

Last night I was at a local craft store & I guess the hours of lurking in this section finally got the better of me. I was heading towards checkout when I spotted 1/2 gallon mason jars on sale. Of course my orchid obbsessed brain started floating around images of all the lovely mini orchids I've seen on here & I ended up with two of them! Now I have two large mason jars & no idea of what to put in them. Was thinking leaving one open with out the lid & the other sealed.

I normally grow most of my orchids outside hung from a tree or mounted on it. Mostly phals, dens, cats & vandas with a couple of oddballs tossed in. So this will be my first real adventure with indoor growing & species. I've spent hours looking here & in the mini section but I'm not sure what the best options would be best.

The room they would be set up in is normally kept around 72-74degrees & the ambient humidity of the house fluctuates between 65% to 80% (yay florida!). I currently don't have any special lights for orchids but 4 recessed lights in the ceiling. I do have an area near my makeup/sfx table that has a combine lumen count around 2000 when all the lights are on.

Now with all of that in mind, are there any orchids that might work. Right now I'm not worried about looks so much as gaining experience & not breaking the bank to gain it.

Thank you for reading & any help!
Kelly.
