Renanthera imschootiana is an intermediate to warm growing Vandaceous orchid, (belonging to the Vanda tribe).
It is a very easy to grow Renanthera species, (at least to me they were, as opposed to Renanthera monachica, imo). When it becomes a larger plant, it can tolerate bright indirect light levels on par to those of many Vandas.
As a small sized seedling, it likes indirect moderately bright light, that Oncidiums do well in.
Allow the potting media to dry out completely before watering.
Humidity levels should be moderate to high (60% - 80%)
I'm currently growing one in a clear plastic pot with medium grade bark only.
They bloom very easily as well. Late winter/early spring is usually when they bloom.
If I'm not mistaken, the blooms last for about 2 weeks.
In case you're wondering - this species is naturally an upright growing monopodial orchid.
