Tolumnia, if I am not wrong, is the rechristened old pet equitant oncidium. They are high light demanding and need plentiful of breeze, which I wonder one can provide them in a terrarium. Moreover, the spikes grow etilolated and blooms spaced out in a terratrium unlike in the open where they bloom in tight clusters. Weighed against these factors, I rule out Tolumnia for terrariums. You may try Oncidium Twinkle Fragrance.
