Definitely looks like a sarcochilus, but which one? I know there are new hybrids. It's a really nice color!

Definitely a Sarcochillus hybrid with S. ceciliae in the background.

The culture is intermediate to warm with medium to high light. Never let too dry.

Yes, it is Sarcochilus, or perhaps a mostly Sarcochilus intergeneric hybrid. Among the species I think only fitzgeraldii could have this appearance, but most Sarco. hybrids are at least partly fitzgeraldii, so there are a lot of similar ones out there. Getting a precise ID is unlikely.

Fair enough...

I just want to know how I should treat it... Thought about putting him in the terrarium with the gecko, but maybe not...

Do they do well in SH or fwc...?

Fred Clarke at Sunset Valley Orchids has posted some cultural advice to go with his current list of Aussie Dens and Sarcs. Scroll down past the list of Dens. for sale and you will find the info on Sarchochilus.

I would just like to hijack this thread for a moment (apologies to gumbii) and say I read all those links and I am a little confused as to the different recommendations for light . SBO talks about Cattleya light, and the Aussie sites mention shade. I'm sure the different species require different light, but if you have a hybrid and you don't know the species in the background, how do you figure out the light ?
