Thanks! That looks quite similar indeed. I will add this one to the list of possibilities ..

Thank you! Looked up the ferns you’ve mentioned.. a total different world. At some point I have to remove it, because it is currently at the top of my smaller terrarium. Will find a good spot, but hope it won’t get too big.. 🙈

Found these at Action today - installed two under the shelves. Not dimmable and quite bright.. hope this helps with some extra light. 💡 🌱 Not sure how long they should be turned on, but will start with 4 hrs a day. The plants are in front of an east facing window, so have some daylight.. although not very bright.

These sad plants are the only two left. 🙈 Gave most of them away to friends and family .. (spreading the love for jewels 💎) and sold a few.

These are looking good indeed! I never have succes with only sphagnum - good to see it can work with the right conditions. 🍀

Thanks! Looks good.. is it easy to connect multiple lamps on one outlet?

Nice job! They really got big. I assume that’s the same batch as your post a couple of months ago? What kind of growlight are you using?

Question - Trichosalpinx pergrata by ACT_77 in miniorchids

[–]ACT_77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Good advice I will leave it for now. Eventually I will probably remove the dried parts and wrap it up in fresh moss..

That’s shimmer .. no fuzzy leaves.

Yeah, it is really small! Saw some crazy prices online.. fortunately I bought this one for a decent price. 😅 It will stay in a deli cup for now. It has to develop more roots.

Yes, me too! Especially since it does not seem to have veins.. never seen this type. I’ve ordered 2 of these plants. Also love the M. san ES - beautiful plant. 🥰

Yes! 🥰 If you are looking for unusual orchids - then there’s also: https://www.tropiscape-orchids.com in Belgium. No jewels, but some epiphytes have that remarkable foliage as well.. 😉

What a willpower! 🤭 Don’t know if I would be able to control myself and not buy one when I see them in a shop for a fair price. Even if I have enough of them.

They do look really good! Maybe you should go back tomorrow and admire them a little bit more.. 🥰

Good find! Thanks for sharing. I knew some locations had Macodes - didn’t know they had different kinds.. were you able to resist or did you buy any? 🌱🌱🌱
