It’s Peperomia prostrata, often called String of Turtles. It does great in terrariums and is all over my tank, although it doesn’t want to root into that spot because the Spyra-covered branch is too dry.

One of my Holy Grail plants showed up today after a harrowing 7 days in the mail - Pleurothallis dressleri. It had lost half its leaves but I think it’s gonna pull through, and the vendor will make it right if it doesn’t. I had a special spot prepared for it:

Top down of my wild terrestrial area - I count 25 different species. The Centroglossa macroceras in the bottom left corner will probably open today, I can't wait!

Jealous of that Pleurothallis. Has it bounced back? I love those, would love to keep one eventually.

Yes



The Tarzane Group followed up with me and offered to replace if it didn't recover - they're great! But it went from 6 leaves to 11 leaves in the past month.

Lepanopsis 'Michelle' is currently putting on a show - and it's been going strong for over a month now. My astrophora budded, bloomed and finished while this one has been blooming. Highly recommend this hybrid!

After two years, my Restrepia dodsonii finally has a bloom (and another bud)! I have always heard how floriferous Restrepias are, but I have never managed to bloom one before, so this flower is the culmination of many years of waiting. So excited!

And a few more from tonight

First bud on my Mediocalcar decoratum


Lepanthes calodictyon never stops blooming, but Masdevallia erinacea only blooms occasionally for me



Pleurothallis tripterantha, which had a fungal issue right when I got it, lost a lot of leaves, and has rebloomed for the first time for me

Congrats! I got one in March and it arrived with a single bloom. Nothing since. It's turned a little purple, so it's getting more light than it used to, but at the same time, if I move it, it will have to start readapting all over again. It has gotten a few new leaves, so waiting patiently...

P.S. - absolutely love your tank!! Been watching your thread for awhile and definitely gives me inspiration
