The prize has arrived… a dendrobium laevifolium! And it is in bloom!!! So very adorable! What an adventure, I don’t have any dendrobiums, any advice on how not to kill it?

How beautiful and how aptly named 
I've no idea how you look after one though - your luck is running well so I'm sure it will be fine! |

Cool, humid, bright, don't let it dry out, use pure water, fertilize regularly, watch constantly for spider mites and treat instantly.

Baker sheet shows it growing over a range of elevations in the tropics... If it were mine, i'd grow it on the warm/intermediate side (GH not outside). Could tolerate cooler but I don't think it needs it. House temps should be fine.

Hmm… so maybe where the neos are, house temps (68 ish) and in the same room as the humidifier (has been averaging 70 relative humidity).
@tmoney thank you!

Big difference! Of the two, the Den laevifolium is likely easier to manage! Small and well-behaved, obviously blooms on a small plant, should be very happy with indoor growing conditions. Phal hygrochila (Hygrochilus parishii) can be something of a beast, grows more like a large, cool-growing Vanda than a Phal.(I grow one of those in a hanging basket on my patio, roots are about 3 ft/1 m long) I'd say that Dalachin lucked out.
