My Mini Orchid Vivariums- UPDATE!
 

Here is what my Mini Orchidarium looks like today... I've done some changes and am pleased with the results. I moved out the encyclia branch and put in a Dendrobium Illusion from Mountain Magic and a Den Cuthbertsonii from Tom Perlite. I bloomed the Illusion in tank... Currently has 5 flowers and 2 buds. The Cuthbertsonii was in bloom when I bought it, and has 1 new growth that formed in tank.

So I've setup several vivariums in the past for orchids and tropical reptiles. My focus lately is to make small vivariums, focused on creating an environment for a single orchid or single genus. Here are the 2 I've started.

This one is built in a $3.00 display I picked up from the Daiso store. Here's the initial setup:

And here it is 6 months later:

So the moss is well established at this point, but the orchid I chose (Encyclia Polybulbon) is not doing well. The light is too bright and it's too humid. I'm thinking about swapping it for Den. Cuthbersonii or a mini bulbophyllum.

Here's my second setup. The enclosure is a glass betta tank I bought in Taiwan. I have Aerangis fastuosa (2}, Aerangis punctata and Aerangis fastuosa X citrata.

Omg! I have that same tank from Daiso.
I was gonna do something similar lol.
Time to rethink it lol.
Gorgeous tank and flowers

Wow! :drool: Good Growing!

Awesome!

Both looking good. Hope you find something that works better for you in the first one, but it looks like it's doing OK to me.

UPDATES!!!!!
