Like one of its parents, canaliculatum, LBS can take a drying off period in the winter. It also likes lots of light and I would recommend hanging it where it can get more than you are giving it currently. It also is definitely an epiphyte and a loose mix with lots of drainage is a must.

I suspect that you have few if any viable roots on your plant from your description. It is definitely over-potted. Take a look and see what is there and re-pot into a smaller pot with new mix. I personally would not use the large fir chunks you have at the moment but the slightly smaller medium fir bark with about 10% large perlite and 10% charcoal.

There have been several previous threads on LBS in the past on this forum but I cannot seem to locate them. Perhaps Rosie or one of our moderators can help out on a reference number?

I've found a couple from 2008/2009. I've not read them so not sure if they are any use.
