The longest leaf for this plant is about 10” long. The wood mount is cedar and it is 3” wide and 5” long.

Interesting plant. What kind of conditions does it like?

Hello Bluesky. This plant likes intermediate to hot temperatures. It grows well in bright, in-direct light, good humidity (above 50% relative humidity), watered regularly, allowing the plant to dry out. Fertilizer regularly.

Nice pictures Matt. If you are really into Oberonia Andy’s has several nice selections.

Thank you Patty. I have checked into Andy's. He has two Oberonia: japonica (will go great with Neofinetia) and punctate (oligotricha), this one is from New Guinea.

All of the other Oberonia he has listed, I <ahem> already have!

Ahhh, of course you do! I hope you have a large home... Here’s one I’ll bet you don’t have, Oberonia rufilabris !!! This one won’t take up much space and cute cute cute.

No, I do not have a large home! I wish! Oberonia rufilabris is a great little pant. I have this one, I just haven’t posted it yet.

Seriously? Do you grow the majority inside or do you move them out when weather is good? With your Neo collection I would be pressed for space and I have a large home! I AM limited as to how far my collection is allowed to infringe on normal household space.

I found a Oberonia rufilabris on eBay and had not seen this one before, listed. How bout you post a picture of your little darling?

Well it looks as if you have plenty of space available. I have kitchen windows, bay with SE, S, SW exposure. Our formal dining room is not so formal, neither am I lol, I have my Neofinetia in that room on a bakers rack in a north facing window with T5 ho lights on 4 shelves. I have a 5 shelf greenhouse/grow tent thing in this room as well in a window with T5s and a fan. There is a table with my few large orchids and CFL light. I’m adding a shelf to our living room this weekend, LOL without any complaints, there are east windows and a huge northern facing window there, I’m adding lights.

I may be at my limit here. Plenty of other rooms plus our basement though our son occupies that area. I have to leave some form of normalcy within our home and I respect that. I just keep squeezing them in where I can!

You’re going to have a busy weekend, have fun!
