Max tenufolia is a great plant but it doesn't stay small very long. Mine is very full in a 6" pot and the one in the picture below is at R.F. Orchids in Homestead, FL:

Still, that is really impressive. Just wouldn't be able to fit it in here! Can you imagine the smell of that one in full bloom?

I'm in, I didn't worry about space until I joined this group, now my little green house is full and I bought a Exo Terra yesterday, I'm going to have to get a second job just to keep up.

Haven't been on in a while, almost missed this conversation. Count me in! Oh, and Susanne, what do you have that Max. tenuifolia in? It looks very happy. I have one in a pot, and one mounted, and the mounted one doesn't seem to be liking it very much.

I'm sooooooo looking forward to this. Have placed my last order for the year. Now will be bringing home only something I can find in this very limited area.
I already have a suggestion for Project 5 (saved until needed) and now I'll have something to research in ernest in the coming months! And "away we go" !!!

LOL...I only WISH that plant was mine! That picture was taken at R.F. Orchids in Homestead when I went down to Redlands in '06.

Mine is doing very well in straight aliflor. I gave a piece of the plant to a friend who has it in a tree fern pot and it's doing great

I think restripias are cool. I have one that is blooming it's cute head off.

I just came across the first thread we posted regarding the first project we did! My, how things have changed!!!
At the time, we had FOUR people in the U.S. to make happy...and still had eight pages of posts!

Remember this, Tin?
Interesting project idea...
