Stelis hirtzii is a refined miniature orchid that thrives in the calm, humid conditions of a closed bell terrarium. Naturally adapted to cloud-forest environments, it prefers steady moisture, gentle light, and minimal fluctuation—conditions that are easily maintained inside glass.
Its slow, compact growth and understated, textured flowers make it especially well suited to office settings, where stable temperatures and indirect light are the norm. Slightly warmer daytime temperatures can support active growth, as long as the plant experiences a short, cooler period in the evenings, helping to preserve balance and long-term health.
