Terrariums

Agreed on the cacti thing...UNLESS you try some of the *Rhipsalis *and
related genera. They are well adapted to lower light levels and high
humidity, being epiphytes. Most are rather floppy, but cuttings of species
like *R. crispata *are rather sturdy and will support themselves until they
grow to a height of a foot or so. And *Hatiora* remains upright even when
heavily branched.

My two cents on terrariums- it makes no sense to put cacti in them. You
should use plants that would enjoy the humidity. If you have good artificial
light available (sunlight will cook a terrarium), you can't beat the
tropical insectivorous plants like Nepenthes. They are amazing. Look them up
on the internet and you will be hooked!
Best, Lou
