	Wardian case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wardian case, the direct forerunner of the modern terrarium (and the inspiration for the glass aquarium), was invented by Dr. Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward (1791-1868), of London, in about 1829 after an accidental discovery inspired him.
		But with the new Wardian cases, tender young plants could be set on deck to benefit from daylight and the condensed moisture within the case that kept them watered but protected from salt spray.
		Hooker's son Joseph Dalton Hooker was one of the first plant explorers to use the new Wardian cases, when he shipped live plants back to England from New Zealand in 1841, during the pioneering voyage of HMS Erebus that circumnavigated Antarctica.

	Wardian case - garden tools information from 1835
		Ward made his first experiment of applying his cases to the preservation of plants on shipboard; and in the beginning of June in that year, he filled two cases with ferns, grasses, andc., and sent them to Sydney, where they arrived, with the exception of two or three ferns, in a very vigorous state.
		The cases which are now used for the transfer of plants on board ship consist of a wooden box, six or eight inches deep, and a glazed frame with a ridged roof, so contrived that light may be admitted freely to all parts of the growing plants.
		Especial care should be taken that the soil used be that in which the plants usually grow, and that all superfluous moisture should be drained from it, as luxuriance of growth is not to be desired.

		The cases, as per his instructions, were cleaned out and filled with a number of Australian native species that had proven impossible to transport in the past.

		Also, the Wardian Case only has about 17" of growing height one the dirt is in side, and the Orchid I got (at Lowes) is to the top already (total dimensions of Case Length 14" Width 9" Height 20").
		I'm not familiar with a Wardian Case but it sounds like it's too small for that phal, bloom spikes on phals can be 2 feet tall or more depending on the age of the orchid.
		I think the early use of such cases were to create tropical dioramas that incorporated a host of different types of tropical plants arranged in a naturalistic setting.

		Note how the plants are placed on staggered shelving (or hung from the sides of the tank) that allows for free drainage into the bottom of the tank (which can be cleaned periodically with a towel if need be).
