Default Bulbophyllum treschii care- anything special to keep it happy and blooming?

Does B. treschii require a winter rest, or any other prompting, to re-bloom? I'd love one in my 12x12x20 terrarium, even if it is a tad on the large size as terrarium inhabitants. For something that blooms like that, I can make room! And it sounds like it'll grow reasonably well in a (ventilated) terrarium. The question is whether it'll bloom for me. I could probably shorten the light period an hour or so in winter, without bothering the rest of the plants? But the whole setup is auto-misted, and will include things that do not want a drier winter, so I can't water it less.

Also, how big are these? I have a rough size estimate from pics online, but I don't have exact numbers. Does anyone have one they could measure, from leaftip to bulb base?

Not a lot of info about it. Here's the entry from orchidspecies.com. IOSPE PHOTOS
It is described as a "mini-miniature" to "miniature" plant so I think you're in luck there. I don't see anything in the habitat description that would indicate a need for a rest period. It's from Malaysia, so tropical latitude, not a lot of seasonal variation in light.

Hopefully, someone on the Board has some experience that you can draw upon, which would be more useful than the generic descriptive stuff.
