I am pleased that your arist. has a new bloom. Is this the first bloom since Feb last year?
What are the temps at your window bay of a night? They grow really well under lights just keep the humidity up and in my opinion the most important thing is air movement and plenty of it. I know that is general with all orchids but with Pleurothallids (esp. the really tiny tots) you really need very powerful air movement. You will not find a slight breeze in my growing cases more like a hurricane!
