Trying Pleurothallis ruscifolia

[estación seca]

I've been wanting to try to keep something in this group alive (unlike the Masdevallia nicaraguae from last November.) I saw this on sale recently. I looked it up and found it has a very widespread natural distribution, and can grow hot, so I thought I would try it.

It was pouring rain when I arrived home with the package, so I gave it a good soak in the rain barrel after the long journey. My plan is to put it into a large, tall hurricane vase you can see

here,

and give it very bright indirect light. Does that seem like a good idea?
