So this was my first Neofinetia. it's also the first to bloom for me (well just about to). I had it in small bark for it's first year, but I kept it too damp and it's leaves browned and fell off. I then decided to grow it bareroot in a vase (in this case an old Ikea glass candle container) like my other vandas.
I soak it twice a week, spray the roots twice a week and keep it in a south facing window. It gets a seaweed and fertilizer soak every second week.
It has put out a lot of roots this year, and I have been rewarded by this small spike - I am excited - although I do get excited when I see any spike.
In the first pic you can get an idea of how many leaves fell off last year when it was too wet.
