Could we get a few culture tips? I got one at our OS Christmas party. Right
now I"ve got it in "Vanda" light right under the 400 watt, in a basket in
sphag. Do I treat it like a Vanda? and what are the temp max/min for it? I
dont know if those are two spikes growing or two keikis on one side of
it...still to little to tell.

Neof. falcata is not the easiest plant to grow in So. Fla. [not
impossible,
just not the easiest -- personally, I think it is borderline on the heat
tolerance needed here]. There are, however, many nice hybrids made using
falcata and these are usually less "touchy."

Thinking on buying a new orchid..

I've looked all around Melbourne, and without going into orchid shows or
private functions, the only place I can buy a Neofinetia is at this
place
called Collections Corner (which is a bit of a drive away from me)..
Now.. The only thing they have are very small plants.. They are potted
...
Well .. They're practically the same size as the pictures Shell posted
in
alt.binaries.pictures.orchids.

Very little with a few leaves coming out from them..

Now.. Would this be recommended or should I look harder into getting a
fully
grown plant?
I've never had an orchid before and the only reason I chose this one was
because, well, it's the one I think looks best..

As well as the fact that it is fragrant.. That's rather appealing too..

I would probably be growing it under fluorecent lights.. (I can build
some
sort of mini-greenhouse and set it under the lights, with a little fan
inside it to keep air circulation)..

Still.. I don't know if this would be too hard for me to keep.. Being
that
I
have not had any experiences with these plants..

Anyway.. Thanks for all your time and help.
