I got this little guy about a year ago (today is 7 Sept. 2013) from a friend here on Orchidboard, mounted it on a small piece of hapu'u fern (think Hawaiian version of tree fern), put it in a 2" clay pot and then threw it in my orchidarium. It gets watered 3x per day with a
MistKing misting system and gets 3 bulbs of t5 HO lighting, though I think I will be giving it a fourth bulb here soon. This is one of those few Laeliinae species which thrives in high moisture conditions, has doubled in size since I got it and is almost always in active growth. As you can see, the moss that has grown around the plant also enjoys similar conditions.
