Hello Everyone,
I currently do not own an orchid, nor have I ever, but I am very interested in acquiring my first one, and have something specific in mind.
I saw on TV over a year ago someone that had an orchid in a large, lidded glass jar. It was absolutely beautiful, and I have wanted something similar ever since. I finally found a gorgeous jar, about 18 inches high, with a diameter of approx 6 inches. What I would like to know now is, which orchid do I choose that would be ideal for this environment?
I could potentially provide any type of lighting needed, as the jar will sit in a wooden cabinet that I could attach a light to above it.
At this point, I know little to nothing about the care of orchids, so I think I would need one fairly idiot proof. It appears to me that most plants would enjoy the relative constant temp. and humidity within a "terrarium" type atmosphere, so this seems like a good idea to me. However, if this is a silly idea, please tell me so! (And then please give me advice on an orchid I could grow outside the jar
Thank you in advance for all of your suggestions!
