The longest leaf for this plant is about 10” long. The wood mount is cedar and it is 3” wide and 5” long.

Interesting plant. What kind of conditions does it like?

Hello Bluesky. This plant likes intermediate to hot temperatures. It grows well in bright, in-direct light, good humidity (above 50% relative humidity), watered regularly, allowing the plant to dry out. Fertilizer regularly.

Nice pictures Matt. If you are really into Oberonia Andy’s has several nice selections.

Thank you Patty. I have checked into Andy's. He has two Oberonia: japonica (will go great with Neofinetia) and punctate (oligotricha), this one is from New Guinea.

All of the other Oberonia he has listed, I <ahem> already have!

Ahhh, of course you do! I hope you have a large home... Here’s one I’ll bet you don’t have, Oberonia rufilabris !!! This one won’t take up much space and cute cute cute.

No, I do not have a large home! I wish! Oberonia rufilabris is a great little pant. I have this one, I just haven’t posted it yet.

Seriously? Do you grow the majority inside or do you move them out when weather is good? With your Neo collection I would be pressed for space and I have a large home! I AM limited as to how far my collection is allowed to infringe on normal household space.

I found a Oberonia rufilabris on eBay and had not seen this one before, listed. How bout you post a picture of your little darling?

I do not have a restriction of orchid grow space. But I have taken over 4 spaces to grow orchids:
1) east facing bay window. I have a shelving unit with LED lights.
2) I have a two shelf light unit in my living room,
3) I have a jacuzzi alcove with a glass brick wall. I grow my Neos in that space. It has two, 4 shelf units, with LED lights.
4) one large shelf unit in my home office in front of a cathedral windows, facing south.

During the summer, all of my orchids are outside. This weekend I am bringing all of my orchids inside.
