🌿 Restrepia lansbergii Terrarium Caresheet
General Overview
Restrepia lansbergii is a miniature epiphytic orchid from the cloud forests of Colombia and Venezuela. Its charm lies in the upright, translucent, candy-striped flowers that appear successively throughout the year. In a terrarium, it thrives under stable, cool–intermediate conditions with high humidity and gentle air movement.
🌡 Temperature & Climate
Range: 16–26 °C (ideal day temps 18–24 °C; night drops to 14–18 °C are beneficial).
Tolerance: Avoid sustained heat above 28 °C. If higher temps occur, increase airflow and humidity.
Best for: Cool–intermediate terrarium environments with controlled climate.
💡 Light
Type: Bright, indirect light.
Placement: Near east-facing windows or under LED grow lights (6,500–7,000 K, medium intensity).
Warning: Leaves will scorch in direct sun. Too little light reduces flowering.
💧 Humidity & Watering
Humidity: 70–90% consistently. A terrarium with a fan or passive venting prevents stagnation.
Watering:
Use pure water (RO, rain, or distilled).
Keep roots evenly moist, but never waterlogged.
Mist lightly 1–2× daily if airflow is good.
Mounted plants dry faster; water more frequently.
🌬 Airflow
Essential in a terrarium to prevent fungal or bacterial issues.
Small USB fans or passive cross-ventilation help.
Aim for gentle, continuous air movement.
🌱 Substrate & Mounting
Mounting: Ideal on cork, tree fern, or driftwood with a pad of sphagnum moss.
Pots: Small slotted plastic or clay pots with a fine, airy mix:
Fine bark + sphagnum + perlite/charcoal (equal parts).
Mounted plants flower better, but pots retain moisture longer.
🍽 Feeding
Fertilizer: Weak, frequent feeding during growth.
1/8–1/4 strength balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20 or similar).
Apply every 2–3 weeks.
Flush with pure water once a month to prevent salt buildup.
🌸 Flowering
Blooms: Successive flowers, often year-round if well grown.
Flowers last ~1–2 weeks each.
Encourage by maintaining stable temps and good light.
✂️ Maintenance & Care Notes
Remove spent flowers and dead moss/leaves promptly.
Repot or remount every 1–2 years, or if sphagnum becomes sour.
Watch for pests (mites, aphids, snails).
✅ Terrarium Suitability:
Excellent, provided there is:
High humidity
Strong air exchange
Stable, cool–intermediate temps
Moderate light
