Introducing: Psygmorchis pusilla - The mini orchid!

This tiny orchid measures only about an inch tall with only reaching about 2-4 inches max. I decided to make a terrarium for it to keep humidity up. I also put some moss in with it too to hopefully carpet the bottom. Enjoy, I know I will!

Lovely terrarium. It is an oncidium which is not a terrestrial species what is it planted in? It can work in the terrarium if you mount it on a raft with sphagnum moss to keep the roots moist but air borne.

A piece of driftwood or cork works.

Yeah, I have it mounted on the wood/twig but it is hard to see in the picture.
