🌱 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.

❤️ 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!

Frequently Asked Question
Why do you use Pargo instead of PUDO?
We partner with Pargo because it forms part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are stored indoors at local businesses, protected from heat, direct sunlight and the weather until collection. It's an excellent option if you're not home during the day or prefer collecting your parcel when it's convenient.
To protect every order and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we use only Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted to transport fragile and temperature-sensitive plants safely.
- Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
- We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
- Cultivo is a boutique-style store and 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. Some are once-off or limited releases, which means they are available only while stocks last. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it’s the real deal
- Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know - we’re happy to help!
