Stelis hirtzii • Miniature Orchid • Cork Bark Mount

🌱 Miniature Orchids for Terrariums & Paludariums 🌱 Once-off Collector Release ~ One plant only (Exact plant pictured) Our selection of miniature and small epiphytic orchids is perfect for terrariums, paludariums, and planted scapes. Epiphytes are "air plants" that grow on top of other plants or objects, using them merely for physical support. These orchids grow above the waterline or soil, preventing them from becoming waterlogged. They are small types, typically reaching 10–15 cm in height, making them ideal for small spaces and as companion plants in carnivorous plant terrariums. This is a once-off collector plant — you receive the exact specimen pictured, currently in bloom, already established and mounted on cork bark with sphagnum moss. Ready to hang, display, or place directly into a terrarium or paludarium. 🌱 Stelis hirtzii Miniature orchid with tiny successive flowers on a spike — epiphyte Light: Bright indirect light; avoid harsh midday sun Temperature: Cool to intermediate, max 28°C Humidity: 60–80% preferred Terrarium Setup: Mount on cork bark or wood above the waterline or soil 🌟 Why choose our mini orchids? ✅ Fully established, healthy and rooted ✅ Mounted on natural cork bark with sphagnum moss ✅ Plug & Play — Ready for terrariums, vivariums, or bright indoor spaces ✅ The exact plant pictured – no surprises! ✅ Carefully packed and shipped nationwide ❤️ General Care Instructions for miniature orchids: Fertiliser: These orchids are light feeders and require minimal fertilisation. Regular aquatic plant food or foliar feeding methods work well and can be applied during watering. Growing Mediums: These epiphytes can thrive on various surfaces like driftwood, mopani wood, spiderwood, lava rock or even artificial mediums. A layer of long-fiber sphagnum moss or coir helps retain moisture. You can find plant glue and long-fiber sphagnum moss available in our store. Light: Some orchids, such as Sarcochilus, Phalaenopsis, and Tolumnia, do well under low natural or artificial light. Dendrobiums and Vandas prefer brighter, indirect light. If using LED lights, position them directly under the lights for optimal growth. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent overheating in terrariums or paludariums. Watering & Humidity: Epiphytic orchids absorb moisture through their roots from the air. They thrive in a high-humidity environment but still require drenching every few days, allowing time between waterings for the roots to dry out slightly. Flowering: This specimen is currently in bloom — a rare treat for the collector who receives it!
