I don't know too much about the really small and interesting miniature species, but I've successfully grown mini cattleyas and mini phals as well as a den aggregatum in much smaller glass vessels than a half gallon jar. Of course there were no lids involved with any of those mini terrariums, but they looked really pretty and i added in some shells or interesting stones on the top of the media for decor. For media i have used a drainage layer of pea gravel, topped with medium grade orchiata bark, sphagnum moss over leca, and plain ole semi hydroponics. Just some food for thought if you ever decided to go that route
