Dendrobium laevifolium

[Dollythehun]

Mine was in an east window. It bloomed profusely, and lost all it's leaves. I moved it to higher light. It's now at the end of an LED, about 6-8" away. It's trying to push new growth, but not successfully. I've heard it was easy but, this doesn't seem to be my case. I recently repotted in moss and saw that it only had it's original root system. No new roots. I vote for difficult. What does it want?

Sounds about right! The rescue plant (not the one in this thread) sits in a shallow water dish to keep humidity around the roots high. However, the moss is held above the waterline by the Epiweb. We'll see if this technique works.

I've got mine a few inches from the LED!
