I don't think the terrarium will work after all for all of these. I put a thermometer in there over night and the temp never drops below 70F.
That's with the light OFF all night. (and yes we do have A/C)
Its going to be interesting to see how this would work. The Dracula lotax culture data says it needs SHADE which I cannot provide in the terrarium, also its a cool grower.
The Dracula vespertilio is a warm to cool grower, so temp might be okay, but still it too needs shade.
Dend cuthbersonii says BRIGHT LIGHT, which would be do-able in there but the stuff I read always has it potted. In the terrarium I would want it mounted or buried in the treefern litter.
I can't seem to find any culture data about Pleurothallis dodsonii.
Since the Masdevallia has a parent (rolfeana) that is a warm ro cold grower, (the other parent, polysticta, is a cool to cold grower) I figure it might have a chance in the terrarium
The greenhouse would be considered "cool growing" in winter, when its kept at a minimum of 55-60. But in warmer months when the heater is off its outside ambient air temp, which can be as high as 75-78 in summer.
Ahhh Tindo I forgot you are an aroid junkie.
Well, last year, I got Anthurium regale (the Holy Grail)
This time I got Anthurium reflexinervium (extremely EXTREMELY rare...has only just started popping up occasionally for sale on eBay for vastly overinflated prices...Anthurium cutucuensis, a very unusual species, and A. flaveolineatum.
