When my jewel orchid failed to thrive in my mossarium, I transferred it to an old fancy Ball jar filled with moss in a south west facing window covered in a translucent frost window covering. It was happy there, so happy that it started on a new leaf.

There are two problems with the canning jar container: one, I can only see the jewel orchid when I open the jar; two, if the orchid gets happy enough to bloom there is no room for the flower spike. So I purchased a tall clear acrylic vase, transferred the orchid and his moss to a different canning jar, and used the vase as a lid.

I can now see the orchid, and if it sends out a flower spike, it has somewhere to go. He remains happy in his new home, as his leaf opened fully with no curling or discoloration.
