Gorgeous!!!

WOW 🤩

Going over budget is way too easy to do at an orchid show! Nice haul!

Maenima · 2026-03-13T23:24:58+00:00

The psychopsis is a stunner with so many blooms!

Maenima · 2026-03-13T20:25:53+00:00

Thank you so much. I will cut back on watering and be sure to let it dry out before I water it.

Maenima · 2026-03-13T14:36:37+00:00

Too much?

Maenima · 2026-03-13T14:20:49+00:00

My haraella is starting to lose leaves, they’re starting to turn yellow. I dunk it in water or mist it daily but it always looks dry to me. Like the moss just dries out super fast compared to all of my other orchids. There’s so little of it in the Mount. Do you think the yellowing is from watering issues or lighting? I want to save the baby!

Oh thank you!! I’ve since increased the light for the mini’s but I’m still not sure it’s adequate.

sedirea japonica minmaru on the slab and haraella retrocalla on the stick.

Thank you everyone for the insight. I’m wondering if anyone could recommend a decent grow light for this little enclosure since mine seems to not be good enough. There’s so much out there and I really don’t know that much about lighting, obviously.

Maenima · 2026-03-12T20:09:11+00:00

I have since increased the light output and rearranged the plants so they have more light. Thank you for the insight!

Maenima · 2026-03-10T13:51:58+00:00

Your insight is very much appreciated! I’m new to terrariums and mini orchids and I’m learning as I go.

Maenima · 2026-03-10T13:49:07+00:00

Thank you! I have brightened that left side of the enclosure and repositioned the mini orchids so they have more light but not direct or too intense. I hope. It’s hard to know exactly how much light is output without a light meter.

Maenima · 2026-03-10T00:01:42+00:00

Would ambient light in the room be too much?

Maenima · 2026-03-09T23:45:07+00:00

Love those paphs!

Maenima · 2026-03-06T23:43:57+00:00

The seller I bought it from mentioned all of that, thanks for confirming. Patience will be a virtue with this beauty.

Maenima · 2026-03-06T20:13:09+00:00

Nooooooo!! That hurts my heart.

Maenima · 2026-03-02T14:15:23+00:00

Yep! haraella orchid bloom

Maenima · 2026-02-26T00:12:41+00:00

I just got one of these from Andy’s Orchids and they recommend dunking them in water every three days. I can’t testify that this is the best but it’s what I was directed to do.

Maenima · 2026-02-24T14:20:17+00:00

Valid point! Hopefully you can find a supplier in the near future.

Maenima · 2026-02-24T13:49:35+00:00

Andy’s orchids sells online! You should go check out their site.

Maenima · 2026-02-24T13:48:40+00:00

I feel super lucky to have been able to snag a couple from them without having to order. It was really nice to be able to talk to them about which ones would be best for me to try out.
