Orchid Help! Coelogyne & Dendrobium
Good afternoon Orchid Lovers!
I have a few orchids I'm concerned about.
1st - Ive had a Coelogyne Variety for 4-5 months,it looks like a Mossiae cross. (pseudobulbs look a like) The flowers come from the middle of the pseudobulb between the two primary leaves, they are white in color with a yellow/orange on the lip of the pedal, so not sure what variety is mixed in. I have been getting mixed reviews on care tips. Mine has been doing okay. No new growth. The plant doesn't seem to be doing much. It keeps its bulbs nice and plump. I keep it in an area with two 2 ft t-5 bulbs. for about 13 hours a day. It gets good air circulation and constantly stays moist. An advice? (pic to come)
2nd - Im having some trouble with is this new Dendrobium I purchased. The tag reads Den. Roy Tokunaga. Doing some research I feels its a Den. Bill Takamatsu. The care instructions ive read call for High to medium light, Likes to stay evenly moist without drying out. Will flower a few times a year. I have mine in a east facing window with a humidity tray. I was curious to know if anyone had any tips. (pics to come)
I would greatly appreciate any care tips anyone may have on these two orchids.
Side Question - whats a simple way to Judge light? weather its High, Med or low. I have a harder time judging good low to med light.

Den. Roy Tokunaga is a Den from the Latouria section, and looking at web photos, it appears that Den. Bill Takamatsu is also. Their appearance is very similar, so I'd probably go by the tag. The care info you have sounds right. Morning sun sounds good.
I can't help with that Coelogyne, sorry. IOSPE PHOTOS

Thank you Whiterabbit. Reason why I feel the tag is wrong on the Den- the flower shape, color, and lack of smell don't fit woth the Roy Tokunaga.
Here are pics of both orchids.

Welcome! Bright light forms sharp shadows. Medium light forms fuzzy shadows. Low light forms minimal to no shadows.
