I've got a new leaf coming in! 
I'm also extremely proud to report that this is the first orchid that hasn't lost all it's existing roots to my "care". In fact, all of its roots still look great! Mine came from Firstrays in a net pot with sphag, I was going to mount it but decided to ask Ray for watering advice first because I couldn't figure out how to water it without getting the moss soaking wet. He advised setting it in a shallow dish of water and letting it wick up (amazing how the obvious eludes me lol), unbelievably (because I AM a serial root murderer), it's doing GREAT!

Great Judith, I am going to take Ray's advice as well and use the tray with shallow water. I don't want to water it from the top and rot out my potential spike  |

Just to clarify, it's not supposed to stay sitting in water, just be placed in a shallow container of water long enough for a small amount to wick up and moisten the sphag

The roots and newest leaf are growing nicely. It has been in the 80's(F) with very high humidity (with intervals of rain).

Mine three. It came with a new leaf started but I can't tell if it is getting larger or not, if it is it's not that noticeable. |

And mine 4... It may as well be a plastic plant, it hasn't changed one bit, for better or for worse! All the other orchids I bought as travel companions are happily doing something.
