Yes, I guess I should've gone with a hybrid. I just really liked this one.
How do I know if it's a hybrid? Is it always a hybrid when the label says 'name x name'? I've found places where it only...

I don't like sphag that much either, but I received the plant in sphag and it seemed to be doing fine, so I let it be. If it ever recovers I think I will plant it in small bark and some sphag.

Well, the temperature is around 20 - 22 degrees here, so I don't think that's the issue. The spotting came when a dendrobium started spotting. I took the dendrobium away from the rest of the plants,...

If it loses its last leaf, can I consider it dead? Or does is still have a chance of making new growth?

Yes, I saw that. And my room definitely have four corners. I can't find any pricing, though. I've looked around on the webs for the pricing of shower stalls in general and they're not cheap!
