This miniature orchid is a terrarium favourite because it thrives in high humidity, compact spaces, and stable conditions. Masdevallia infracta stays small, enjoys constant moisture, and rewards patience with striking, architectural blooms—making it ideal for a closed bell terrarium.
 
Thanks to its preference for indirect light and cooler temperatures, this setup works especially well in an office environment, where conditions are generally stable and protected from direct sun. Interestingly, slightly warmer daytime temperatures can enhance the plant’s coloration, as long as it experiences a short cool drop in the evenings, which helps maintain balance and encourages healthy growth.
