Default Need advice on picking a Phrag

Hi all,

Was wondering if any of you Phrag wizzes could help me get an idea of whether or not I can grow a phrag in my terrarium.

If I were to put a phrag in my tank it would be planted in ABG mix (chopped orchid potting bark, a few strands of sphagnum, charcoal, and some tree fern fiber). The mix has stayed consistently moist but never wet. My epiphytic rhododendrons are growing nicely in it.

The tank stays cool to intermediate temps (60-80 F).

I have some bright lights above, which can be seen here: T5 8 x 2' Hydrofarm Designer Fixture FLP28 $185.00 Lighting First Rays LLC

The vivarium is very humid but has a ton of ventilation with two strong computer fans set up to cause air circulation.

Are there any phrags that would be happy in moist but never wet substrate?


Thanks.
