Default orchids for terrariums

Over years with terrariums I have come to a conclusion that weneed to have obly those orchids which have ornamental foliage qnd slow growing ones that would spares you the tedious job of hold two long prongs to locate a strategic and visually appealing place inthe limited surface of a terrarium. Most of them belong to the jewel orchids group, such as Anoectochilus, goodyera, Hamaera, etc. etc. H. discolours is extremelt hardy and forns a dense clump od dark vela' roxburghii is irresistibly beautifuk but clusters sparselt. Goodyera and macodes from Borneoi and Indonesia are very good. All these need diffused light and round the year warmth which you may please note.
