Sometimes I think a lot of folks are looking for a quick answer to satisfy orchid needs. Unfortunately, that isn't the way it works. Sorry. Terrariums can offer a lot of the requirements not doable in a winter-heated home (such as higher humidity) but have their own problems as a result. Have you thought about mold? Have you thought about the natural air movement associated with "jungle" environments? How will you handle watering? Will the plants outgrow the height/width you can provide? There are lots of things to think about and terrariums aren't the automatic solution, else everyone would doing it that way.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
