Thanks for the advice. I removed and tossed the spahgnum that wrapped around the roots and decided to go with a fine bark/sphagnum mix. Not a lot of humidity here and want to be careful to not overwater so I thought the mix would be the way to go. I will try to water every 2 to 3 days but will check the media daily to make sure it is not dried out completely. I had some other Maxillaria in sphagnum and they rotted and I think I was watering too much. I am more careful now with the ones that are potted in sphagnum.
I looked the orchid up online before I purchased it and I thought it would do OK here and is supposedly an easy grower. I liked the flower and the fact that it is fragrant.
