Dyakia hendersoniana spiking
This came from Carmelas Orchids in a grower's choice assortment, early October. It was very loosely attached to a raftlet of tree fern by one or two root tips, and has since fallen off. I'm keeping it bare-root but set it on top of the tree fern raftlet. I treat it like my other Vandas, spraying with fertilizer solution once or twice daily, and a 12-hour fertilizer soak every 2-3 days. It gets about 6 hours direct winter sun through a window in my sun room. Temperatures are 60 F / 15C night minimum and can be in the 80s F / +/- 30C by day.
Dyakia hendersoniana (Ascocentrum hendersonianum)

I love that feeling of excitement, when you get that first spike on a new plant. Given your warmth it shouldn't be too long a wait until we see bloom pics.
