hey everyone! i'm looking for some good orchids to mount/plant on my background. in honesty, i can't afford too much. i'm really going for that "jungle" look, kinda like andynycfreeride's viv (not that elaborate!)
also, if you have any good plant recommendations, let me know that also!
thanks in advance!-adam hoyt

Small growing bulbophyllums and warmth tolerant pleurothallids are good starter choices. I have a list on my website of some of the things I think will work or I have tried. There are lots of lists out there, though. Maybe somebody can suggest a few other good ones?

Those 2 things don't match. :lol: Go with Rob's advice though. I LOVE Bulbos!

This is a good choice and is normally fairly cheap. I love th foliage.

The mini masdevallias are one of my favorites and they seldom stop blooming. Should fit/grow in any set up as long as lightcan be given directly.
