This plant was about 6" tall when I bought it. Now the tallest leaf is about 13" tall. I give it orchid food about 2x/month. Potted in orchid mix with sphagnum moss on top and sides of slotted orchid pot.

If you live in central Florida, I would think the sphagnum is not necessary. At least, not that much. Your humidity levels should be high enough without it. I live on the gulf coast and don't use it at all. My plants potted in bark are doing remarkably well. Our humidity levels are similar.
