Miltoniopsis get pale, not red, in overly bright conditions, and they prefer
cooler conditions, so I'd move it into a semi-shady, indoor, air conditioned
location.

I had received a pansy orchid from a friend who had received it as a gift.
I remember seeing it when it was in bloom and it was beautiful. Needless
to
say it only had 1 viable psuedobulb left. I cut off the dead stuff and
potted the one piece that is still alive. It is a very light green and
had
about 4 good roots. I am assuming that it is the newest bulb as I did not
see any other root protrusions on the base of it, just the 4 roots that I
mentioned. Now that I have it in a new pot with new mix, what should I do
to ensure that it survives? The green that I mention is most likely from
a
lack of water and nutrients, as I did not see any red on the leaves
indicating too much light. Should I put it in my orchid house (outside)
or
should I leave it in the house with less light and where it is cooler?
Any
help would be appreciated as I have never grown this type of orchid. By
the
way I live in West Palm Beach (hot and lots of humidity). Not even sure if
this type of orchid will grow here.
I have no idea what the name is on this plant as the tag is long gone.
