Orchids that do well in terrariums.

So, you keep frogs. Do you feed them crickets? Do the bugs eat your plants?

I feed my tree frog baby crickets and Im careful to make sure they all get eaten. The other frogs I have a pretty small, so they eat fruit flies that don't eat plants. So that is pretty safe.

We also grow nationally awarded terrarium begonias, both big and small. Terrariums are the way to go for high humidity for plants who love that kind of enviroment.

Welcome Charles. Why not post in the Intros section?

Thanks all.

Oh and by the way, here is a pick of that anubias in flower!

Tindo,
was that anubias already growing emergent [above water] or did you just chuck in one that had been growing below water and it adapted with no problems?

I have heaps of anubias in my display fishtank- mostly coffee anubias, that would be great as part of the vertical viv I'm planning, but I wondering how they will adapt.

I know in nature they grow in areas that flood/drain and are used to being below/above/partly in the water depending on the season

Oh my! That is very nice . Approximately what size does it reach, in terms of leaf/pseudobulb length, flower spike length & size?

Is it mounted? What watering/fertilising schedule is it under?

Its going to flower and is growing roots like crazy.

The link is dead but I have seen your H. odorata more then a few times while surfing around on orchids in vivs, and looks like it absolutely loves it's environment!

Shame we don't seem to have it in Australia, though .

Oh yea, Harealla is one of the best if not the best!!
