Default Sarcochilus 'Cherry Snow' ?

I just got a division of this plant labeled as Sarcochilus 'Cherry Snow'. I know it's a Sarc. but when I searched for this specific plant online, I couldn't find a thing. Because Sarcs can vary in their needs, depending on which species they are or were hybridized from, I'd like some help narrowing down what species this might have come from. An ID for the actual plant would be ideal, of course, but I won't get my hopes up.

If I can just get an idea of the likely background and the requirements that entails, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

The pictures below are of the mother plant and it's bloom.

Possibly Sarcochilus Cherie Snow (=Cherie x hartmannii)

Give it typical "white Sarc hybrid" conditions: ie Phal-like light, cool conditions, give it a coarse mix but don't let it dry out much between waterings, keep the humidity up but don't sacrifice air movement, 1/2-1/4 strength fertilizer.

Thanks Andrew. I think that is my little Sarc.! Thanks also for the growing tips. Those conditions shouldn't be a problem for me, except maybe the humidity while I'm at college. Humidity easily drops to 30% or below here, it's a high desert climate. But with my humidifier running I can keep it up to at least 50%. Home has a much better climate for orchids.

Marylin: Isn't it? I just love those cute little flowers and the red pattern in the center.
