Dyakia hendersonianum *MINI*
Hi all,
I finally got my Dyakia hendersonianum.   
Now, Im waiting for it to bloom.
Ok, how do I take care of this one? Right now, its in a wood basket, with some sphag moss around the roots. I dunk it under the sink every morning now and have it under some Metal Halide lights in the Botany Lab at work. Should I be fertilizing this one every day? Should I be keeping it in high humidity? That is, should I hang this one in my orchidarium?
This is my first Vanda type orchid, as its former name was Ascocentrum hendersonianum.
Thanks.

Hmm, just read to keep it warm and in shade. Perhaps I should take it home instead.

I like the looks of it mounted, personally. If it were mine I'd pull it from the basket and do a mounting.

Im tempted. Especially given my success with mounts. They really like me when they are on mounts.

That's why I recommended mounting. I have seen your wonderful mounts and think this guy deserves a nice piece of wood - don't you? |

Well, its currently in a mini basket, wood basket. And one of the roots, I noticed, has entwined, attached and curled itself into one of the tiny loops made by the wire hangers that holds the basket. 
How am I supposed to detach that!
Anyway, the plant is not very big, about 6 inches across and 3 tall.
