    Lol....I thought 'muffin fans' were a joke when someone told me about them, but I found out they were like computer fans

    Phal bellina and Phal violacea might also enjoy your conditions too, with air movement. I'm not expert on these though, my phal bellina was stressed badly from shipping and it is quite set back, though slowly regaining its strength. I think they like the humidity because of their habitat in the rainforests of Borneo. They are smallish plants for a phal and their spikes are short, spikes are also more horizontal than vertical, so perfect on the side of a vivarium.

    What is the smallest phal by leaf span?

    My Phal 'Lava Glow' is my smallest old phal. It is very small and the spikes aren't too tall compared to my other phals, but they are sent vertically (maybe a problem in a tank?). It's the patented one that is sometimes offered in big box stores. Lava Glow is not a registered phal name and I suspect that it might be Phal Laurel Lea Baldan ‘Lava Glow’ (Phal. Buddha's Treasure x Doritis pulcherrima) after some googling, but I am not sure. Anyone know for sure?

    I recently bought a Phal Buddha's Treasure x Doritis pulcherrima and it is not little at all! It's actually the second biggest phal I have.

    You can see pictures of it here...
