Tin, your orchidarium is outstanding! This is the first one I've ever. Very very nice.

I think your ludisia will love it. But be careful with the sun. If you give it too much sun the leaves will lose their beauty.

Good luck and don't forget to make pictures when you get it. Is it an antique aquarium?

Not sure how old the aquarium might be. I wasn't interested in it at the time, so I didn't have a close look.
It was in the basement...junkier area...of the antique store. I should take pictures? you mean to see the progress of my little ludisia? or ??

I mean photos of antique aquarium. But if it is glued, the glue won't survive that long to be antique....

And photos of ludisia at its new home too!

Thanks! I used coco-fiber siliconed to insulation foam, and driftwood.

I think your Ludisia will do fine in an aquarium with low lighting. Mine doesn't really get strong lighting at all, but is growing well.
