Neofinetia falcata Nishidemiyako 西出都 (and a bonus friend from New World Orchids)
My first Neo came in yesterday from New World Orchids. Came in a day early from the initial delivery date, actually.
Kristen also gave me this Leptotes pohlitinocoi for free, so that was a nice surprise! Not sure what alliance it belongs to, but I read it's genus contains only about 10 species.
Both of them are in sphagnum moss with a packing peanut (I don't know why but I found the single packing peanut assuming), both were
dry so I gave them a drink after looking them over. The Leptotes seemed to have taken the trip a lot rougher than the Nishidemiyako, but I can see the Leptotes is growing new leaves and roots. The Nishidemiyako has a tiny growth on it's side as well, so that exciting!
The Nishidemiyako is on the bottom of the cabinet where it gets brighter but indirect light and the Leptotes I put up with the larger Sundews I have, as I read it's more of a bright light orchid. The cabinet is 75-76 degrees Fahrenheit and 75-80% humidity during the day.
