Tried making a Mini Orchid Terrarium!

Call it nuts,

Call it lockdown boredom,

I had this 5" diameter glass globe sitting around, new dendrobium keikis, baby air plants (Tilliandsia) and Borro's Tail (Sedum morganianum) so I chose to create a - Mini - orchid terrarium.

I'll just mist it in the AM so as not to*flood it, keep it partly covered with clear film and give it a little indirect sun.

I figured it would be fun to see what might be happy and growing in there!

What do you think??!!!

I like it. Nice presentation for sure

Just watch for mold and leaf yellow but an open top is a good way to avoid that

I just had to share this!

My orchid shipment from Hawaii contained a psychopsis potted in bark and on the bark there was some nice moss growing. I figured, why not so I took this moss and introduced it into my mini terrarium experiment. Maybe I'll be growing Hawaiian Moss!!

I believe my dendrobium keiki will be happy in there!

I'll keep the group posted incase anyone is interested.

True! Some air-movement and having the temperature not too cold will definitely help. Otherwise - could encounter fungal issues later on. May also expect algae growth later - on the surfaces of the media etc.
