Orchid recommendations please?
Default Orchid recommendations please?

Hey all! So I just joined this forum and am in need of some assistance with my terrarium. I currently have a fairly small one with a mounted psygmorchis pusilla and it is doing great and loving the terrarium, however the terrarium looks a little empty and I have decided he needs a buddy to complete the look.
I am looking for a fairly small orchid that:
Does well potted
•Does not exceed 3" wide and 3.5" tall including the pot(unless it is a thinner orchid in which case it can be up too 4.5")
•Isn't too finicky, I water the mount about twice a week once with weak fertilizer and once without and would prefer and orchid who would be happy with this regimen as well.
•Survives in temperatures between 65 F and 80F and thrives in the 70-80 temperature range.
•Does not take years to bloom, annual or year round would be awesome, the more the merrier.

Also if anyone knows how to change your username is love to know how, that was me mistake . I'm open to all suggestions and am really anxious to see what you guys have in mind, I love minis but am a bit over whelmed when it comes to options.

There are so many choices it can be overwhelming. A few to look at: Masdevallia erinacea, Schoenorchis fragrans, Bulbophyllum pardalotum.

Thank you for the suggestions!
I like all of these but noticed a lot were happier on mounts, are there any that do particularly well in pots?

With the right media and watering regimen they can all do well in pots.

The Masdevallia and Haraella would be very good in pots. The other 2 will grow just fine potted, but are more easily managed and attractively displayed mounted.

Harella retrocalla also does fine in a pot.
