Platystele viridis - Orchid133
Platystele viridis mainly stands out due to its size: mini. In a moist terrarium or paludarium with sufficient light this miniature will feel right at home. With proper care the Platystele viridis grows yellow flowers on a long, vertical branch. Platystele viridis is however not a beginner’s plant: this mini orchid requires a somewhat cooler habitat.

In nature, this miniature orchid grows on trees in the humid forests of Ecuador. There the Platystele lives between moss, ferns and bromelias on tree trunks. This plant is therefore ideal to place on an epiphyte branch or fern root backwall.
Platystele viridis requires a light and somewhat cooler placement, for example a little lower in the terrarium. Daily misting with soft water (like osmosis water) is recommended. Extra fertilization is not directly required. Give this orchid an airy substrate or place the orchid on a fern root or epiphyte trunk. To ensure sufficient moisture, always place Sphagnum around the roots if the plant is not put in a substrate. Some experience with tending to orchids is desirable.
