Yes I did get it from him. I had watched that listing for almost too long because it was not cheap. There were only 3 left when I ordered. Can you imagine how nice the first ones he sold were? But I'm not sorry and it was very nicely packed and shipped in no time flat.

You guys are starting to convince me on the glass vase and I have some really big ones that would probably work. My indoor humidity is ranging around 47 to 61%, but I was thinking the roots were not as plump as I would like. They are nice and green though and show the color at the ends, which I understand is a sought after trait, depending on variety. Amami's maybe not so much, but other varieties can be quite lovely. Another reason not to hide those roots.

Well I think those photos may have sealed the deal. They're gorgeous!

I use clay pots. You could get a large clay pot and add some little clay pellets or bark. Then you only need to water about once a week, depending. I do this and I give a big flush every 7-10 days or so. Unless you want to see all of your roots :)

I agree. Those roots are too lovely to hide!

Hi,
I did not know neofinetia, could be so large.
It is the first I see of this kind.
Really spectacular.
I hope it flowers soon as possible and that You will post the pictures.
