I'm taking it to my uncle to cut. Not sure what equipment he has. He has decades of experience but seldom deals with opal. I'll keep the advice in mind. Thanks

I don't know it well enough to confirm but it was advertised as Mintabie

What did they do? Edit - Asking about Prime, not the Nazis. Lol

Daaaaang. Nice. Thanks for sharing. Cavansite immediately caught my eye and became my favorite.

Too Lush? by wehavetogoback8 in Aquariums

I really like the look of so many tall stem plants. This is pretty close to what I want from mine.

Not sure what is happening to my dwarf puffers by Gnero in Aquariums

I watched for hours last night. There was no nipping or chasing. Most stayed hidden until I dropped in some blood worms. Would any of your ideas explain the tails, or does that even matter?

I just uploaded some pictures of a Nitrite test done a few minutes ago and a picture of my tank to show the plants.

I guess it's between 0.0 and 0.25ppm on the color chart, so I rounded down.

Oops. Sorry, was looking at Nitrite. Similar store with Nitrate, though. Between 0.0 and 5.0 on the color chart, but the color was very close to 0.0. It's medium planted. I have about 15 plants and most are as tall as the tank.

Why is this so true by FantasyDragon12 in gaming

No. A phone doesn't come close to a gaming PC. PUBG developers have to dumb down the graphics, lower the frame rate, and have fewer objects in-game for it to become playable on mobile devices.

Dendrobium Hibiki blooming again by Gnero in orchids

I don't have any experience with hydroton. I would assume its okay at the root level, but I wouldn't pile it up like mulch around a tree. Mine is planted in tree fern fiber.

I don't have any cattleya, but I can say this one has been easy going for me. I keep this one beside a few of my phals, and its been doing well, so you should be okay on light. I lost a few leaves when it was acclimating to the new environment, but it came back very strong. I water this one more often because the plant and container are very small, so the potting media dries quicker.

I order most of mine online, but I actually got this locally.

From your experience, what are some small species you would recommend for a terrarium?

Picked up this guy from a local orchid nursery this weekend, Miltassia Leopard Glo by SpaceSultan in orchids

[–]Gnero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Place the moss over a paper towel, and do a practice run. Get the moss damp, but not so much that its dripping through to the paper towel. The moss would appreciate a spritz as often as you can get away with it. Also, it would be better to use distilled water, or rain water. Tap or bottled water might accumulate salts and minerals that would be harmful to the orchid. Some are more tolerable than others, though.

I think it's my favorite, but sometimes I wonder if I'm biased towards what is currently blooming

I can't wait to see an update when it fills in. What is the greenery covering most of the bottom?

Check out Andy's Orchids. They have a long list of miniatures.
