I have mine potted in a epiweb basket with epiweb chunks.....what kind of growing conditions are you providing yours again?

Go get your camera and take a pic. . .I
MUST see!!!!
I'd read that they dislike being disturbed and that they actually prefer the gravel best. So I just left it alone, the way Andy sold it to me. . .in the rocky gravel. But I did add a tiny bit of moss to the top to protect the roots on the surface.
I've been keeping it in tanks of one sort or another but only recently moved it beneath T5 lights in my plastic covered growing rack.
The humidity is around 60% most of the time and the temps go up to 82 at the absolute max and drop to maybe 68 at night. I've got super good air circulation too 24/7. I run two good sized fans that circulate the air from top to bottom over and over. I've also got supplemental sunlight coming through a big, south facing window. It's quite bright light but very diffused.
OOOH! And I've been using MSU and KLN. I mix up a quite dilute amount of fertilizer but about a capfull of the KLN. . .which I think is a lot . .per gallon of RO water.
Hope that helps!
I LOVE this little Laelia. It's one of my top faves.
