Epidendrum Mabel Kanda 'Miyao'

[VickiC]

Hi,
I bought this orchid about 3 mo. ago in the "bag-baby" section at Lowes. Since I had never had an Epidendrum, I decided to buy it while I had the chance. I unpotted it when I got home and found that it only had fair roots after I trimmed the bad ones off. I repotted it in Better-Gro bark orchid mix and then started looking for care info, but I couldn't find much. From what little I gathered, though, it needed quite a bit of light (not sure about fc ??), should dry between waterings, 80-85% day temp., and no less than 60 degress at night, so that's approx. what I have provided for it. I haven't been sure about humidity, though. I have had it in a room with some of my other orchids in 60-65% humidity. I hope that's been ok. ?? It looked "bent out of shape" when I bought it, but I hoped it would cheer up and look more heathy. It doesn't look any different than it did then, though, so I've started to wonder if I have been taking care of it as I should have. By the way, when I bought it I just assumed that it was supposed to look sorta dark purple...is this correct? Would some of you Epi. experts please tell me the care it needs, please?

I'm not an Epi expert just bumping this up for you.
