Sorry for the slow building process, it has been tough to find plants that suit a tank this small. I have the majority of the planting done, and the 2nd/final video will be finished shortly. Before I finish the video I would like to get a few more broms mounted as it is looking bare at the moment. At least all my vines are growing in nicely, moss is acclimating, and all my other cuttings are rooting.

In any case, here are a few teaser pics of some of the awesome miniatures I picked up before they were planted. All of the tags are about 1” in width for size reference.

Teeniest of the bunch...


Cutting from an amazing 40 year old plant. It took me a solid 2 hours to cut away the epiweb since I wanted this in my viv badly. Flowers are purple and have a very strong cinnamon smell. Soon to bloom too!




I only managed to use about 25% of this in this viv. The rest will be saved for my next project.


This is the only orchid that I won’t be using in this viv. It’s a little big and I can’t pick a good spot for it...Next project also.


If you are familiar with my 1st viv, then I bet you will guess where this macodes will be planted to give the mirrored effect...


Amazing leaves!


I’ll try and hurry up and finish for everyone.

Yeah its tough to capture the macodes in all it's glory. The veins are totally metalic. Cool little jewel.

And it is actually a Cirrhopetalum Lepidum. I bought it mostly beause of its amazing flowers!
