Mine is about to bloom for the second time

.
Here is what I am doing. Mine is mounted on tree fern with a little bit of moss - it came that way. It is grown outdoors in summer and watered daily. It's easy to tell when it needs water - just feel it. On really hot days it might get watered twice. It is growing in a mostly-shade area - It only gets very late afternoon/evening sun and only for a short while. Temps outside here in summer are usually in the 60's (F) at night and up to 90F during the day.
In the winter it is indoors in my sunroom with very good air movement, but I struggle with humidity. Again it is misted/watered every day (unless it is still damp....). Temps during winter are usually high 50sF/Low 60sF at night and around 68F during the day.
Maybe that will help...
