I have been keeping aquatic plants for 12 years now. I’ve been trying to learn more about plants I can incorporate with driftwood that is peaking out of the water. Miniature orchids have really intrigued me! Right now I’m trying to do research on these species:
Porroglossum dalstroemii
Pleurothallis grobyi type yellow (Ecuador)
Dendrobium leucocyanum
If anyone can give me an in depth description on care as far as the PAR they require, nutrients they require (potassium, iron, magnesium, etc), if they require a hibernation or drought period, general humidity and
misting requirements (as well as proper water parameters in PH KH GH), if there is a medium that would be best (species of moss, type of wood), and anything else I could be missing.
I’m also looking for other species that would be good options. What really attracts me are brightly colored flowers, dense foliage, and small leaves 1-2”. Preferably something I can have blooming year round might be asking for too much but it can’t hurt to ask haha! Thank you for taking the time to read and respond!
