I have Vanilla planifolia and Epibator( Zootrophion) hirtzii and I really like that they are not like most orchids in that they are not idk what to call it... self heading? Does anyone know of more cascading or vining etc orchids? The only other ones I have seen are the other two Epibators..... share your plants and pics!

I like the look of that. Any idea where you can purchase one of those, and/or the cost?

That Orchid is stunning!

 

[Ulisesfrb]

That is indeed a beautiful orchid. Is it terrarium suitable?

 

[hydrophyte]

Trichosalpinx chamaelepanthes is an easy plant. When it's happy it grows like a weed.

Awesome stuff so far! I found a genus of pleurothallids called Barbosella

Barbosella austrialis

Barbosella crassifolia

Barbosella handroi

They are not too easy to find but run around $25-$30 for a small size one (6-10 bulbs) and they do well in vivs from what i was told and with mine so far. I will see if I can find some and let you know where to get them.

Sorry for the correction But, if people are searching for the orchid posted by glass frog, the genus is spelled Isabelia.

Sorry I am really not good at spelling and I type to fast for my own good.

Do these orchids require air circulation...and what other requirements....they are beautiful...

 

[hydrophyte]

Isabelia is definitely on my list.

 

[Sammie]

Encyclia polybulbon is pretty cool, and grows kinda "viney".

 

[mitcholito]

Isabelia could do fairly well in a viv if they are placed very bright and they get to dry up between watering. But I would not call it the perfect terrarium orchid.
They definately needs air circulation. So does all plant!!
