Neostylis Lou Sneary Sky King gift
Since we live somewhat nearby, Pilot offered to give me a few plants including Neostylis Lou Sneary 'Sky King' in bloom
I am over the moon because it is in spike! It also is proving to be a nice companion to my vanda, which I hope to bloom in a few months.
Any advise for a new neo owner?

Awesome! Neostylis likes a fair amount of light.

lol, my wife brought home 16, yes 16 rescue Phals from an office she was temping at on the verge of being trashed & we mounted & shipped one to her mother this week (BS, but not in bloom), so my pay it forward bank is flush with cash right now! Can't wait to see some blooms & make someone smile. Feels great! Some of them are HUGE & lovin the lovin they're getting right now, so hopefully it won't be too long before they can find new homes. I was like "Uh, wow, what in the world?" when she showed up with a big office mail delivery box overflowing, hahaha. People on the subway were probably perplexed to say the least, lol, can you imagine? She's always dumpster dived for rescue plants & they make our apt look lovely & friends happy when they're shared (after a spit shine of course).
