Pray tell, where did you find them??? I can't find a calodictyon to save my life. In my terrarium (a 2.5 gallon number...aka itty bitty), I have an incredibly happy Lepanthopsis astrophora "Stalky" that has bloomed continuously since I set this thing up spring 2006. Then, I went to the WOC in Miami, Fl and Andy's Orchids terrarium was such an inspiration to me, I couldn't help myself. So, I starting stuffing it!! Pleuro. brighamii has stayed green, but has yet to bloom. My Isabella pulchella hasn't died, yet.... I recently added an Ang. distichum (love these). I am hoping it survives. The Lepanthes elegantula took a nose dive almost immediately. I took it personally and didn't replace it. One plant I would hesitate to suggest, as it grows much faster than I had understood: oak leaf creeping ficus. It's cute, but it's attempting to monopolize my whole set up, for all it's worth. I attached a picture from when I first started it. I have since added a simple terrarium humidifier. So far, so good!
