Masdevallia erinacea finally blooming for me

Super excited t that I finally got this little bushy guy to start counting for me. I was starting to get worried that I had it in 2 course of a medium

​

" I left it in a very similar mix that I retrieved it in from the grower"

​

But it appears to be liking its conditions, it's growing in very minimal light. I have it under my aquarium light for photos watered twice daily by a misting system. Also recently it has decided that it is going to expand rapidly. So at some point probably thinking about breaking up this plant and trying it out in a vivarium.

Hear me out

What do y'all think? Any good ideas for what kind of terrarium you would put in? This used to be an old lamp And the only thing that convinced me was the fact that it had a front opening door.

My current mini orchid setup

Of course, not everything in here is an orchid and not everything in here is a miniature, but most of them are. I have fans running and auto misters and genuinely the whole setup is pretty low maintenance. The temperature is typically cool to intermediate. And a lot of the different species in here are more of experiments to see what can I keep in these conditions.

So online I have encountered little to no information on this plant. If I'm going to be quite truthful it has been in my care for about 2 months and is putting off new growths so I'm assuming it's happy?. Excuse my basic knowledge on cattleyas but from everything I've ever learned about them, they love well-draining soil and they enjoy the heat and I'm not sure if that transfers over to the smaller varieties. My tank ranges anywhere from 68 to almost 80° depending on outdoor temperatures. I have a thermostat in my room so I try to keep it around 72 which my other miniature orchids definitely enjoy. If any of you have taken care of this plant in the past or know any more information? I would love to have some advice. Also recently got a sophronitis wittigiana recently that seems to be doing all right at the moment. I just want to make sure I give them the care that they deserve.
