Default First Miltonia, need some advice *s*

Hi!
Long time, no see *s*

I have had a great sucess wiht my chids lately, espesially some of the ones i repotted into s/h are really happy with me at the moment

But today, i happend to find me a new chid, a Miltonia said the label, but as before, the labels here in Norway are not always correct, so please tell me if this is wrong! And there are no other names on the labels as well...so this one is most likely a noid.

I belive the Miltonias are intermediate, and need to be humid but not sobbing. They like it in medium bright, and not direct sun.
Correct?
What else do i need to know, to keep this lady happy?

Heres some pics....
Dont you understand why i couldnt leave this beauty....?
Its got a second spike in bud, and a third one just starting to bud now.

Miltoniopsis hybrid is more correct, I believe they were called Miltonias because Miltoniopsis and the true Miltonias were once categorized under Miltonia before the split.

But yes, the info you have is true.

They're fragrant too, if you didn't know.

Charles and Margaret Baker has a general culture sheet about them.

Wow - a beauty! I can understand why you had to buy it I would have too
Sounds like you have the basic care down Some milts can hold their blooms quite a long time if not subjected to sudden changes or extreme temps.
So hopefully you will be enjoying them for a while

There is a general care sheet here for Miltonia and Miltoniopsis.

I agree with king that yours looks like it's a miltoniopsis which according to the care sheet is a bit cooler growing than a miltonia.
