    Whatever you do, avoid vanilla orchids. They're lovely but they grow fast and soon there's only vanilla. You could add some orchids that normally live alongside the anthuriums, like brassia but they tend to have humongous flower spikes. Cattleyas would do well there. Maybe even a brassavola. They smell so nice. Could totally see this terrarium with a brassavola nodosa.

    HELP! I bought 15 Monstera Deliciosa plants(10" plastic pots) in September. 3 weeks later 1 plant rotted entirely with no node left to save. For the rest of the 14 I cut off any mushy rotted roots and potted into bigger terracotta pots. Watered only when the soil felt dry, but it's beyond me how the rot occurred. Some of the plants still look kinda wilted. I despise plastic pots for this very reason that soil just takes too friggin long to dry in my garden conditions, shouldn't have got them in plastic pots in the first place. Now I hate myself that I just can't keep plants alive. You've had your share of struggle with Monsteras, what steps to look for before buying and after taking them home, or suggest one of your videos please!❤
