  • @Shniedelwoodz
    @Shniedelwoodz 17 дней назад

    Whatever you do, avoid vanilla orchids. They're lovely but they grow fast and soon there's only vanilla. You could add some orchids that normally live alongside the anthuriums, like brassia but they tend to have humongous flower spikes. Cattleyas would do well there. Maybe even a brassavola. They smell so nice. Could totally see this terrarium with a brassavola nodosa.

  • @mad_green_mango

    but as an anthurium breeder I do not recommend such an amount for such a small space. These plants grow quite quickly to a really large size.
