List of Terrarium-Tried Orchids

[Stray59]

Okay, it has taken all weekend, but I have compiled a list of the orchids that have been reported to have been grown in terrariums. I did not list those that were proposed as good possibilities, only those that someone said they had tried. I hope I have not left out anyone suggestions.
I looked up the basic culture and included Size, Temp range and Light Exposure, as they were listed in Jay's Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia. I do not lay any claims to having tried any of these orchids in terrarium settings myself - but I am getting ready to try some!
Hope this helps.......
