Default Pleurothallis grobyi

I bought this little guy from Andy's and it arrived on 2/19/08. It was not in bloom but had evidence of past flowerings....

It is currently in my vivarium, under my T5 lights (literally RIGHT UNDER)...gets watered with RO about every other day and fertilized with an additive of KLN once a week. The humidity is around 75 to 80 and temps stay at 70 day and night. The fan runs off an on all day in 1.5 hour intervals.

I am sooo excited..the first thing I do when I come home everyday is run downstairs to see how he's doing (and everyone else too... )

I want to move him down to the branch that about 5 inches below where it is now but I'm afraid the change ANYTHING....

It was already mounted on that stick, but now that stick is wired to the sand blasted grapevine "tree".

It was shipped from Andy's on 2/18 and arrived at my house on 2/19 (with three other plants...lol) in a box filled with styrofoam peanuts! Each plant is wrapped with a polyfiber type material (pillow stuffing) and then tucked into the box....I purchased from them twice now (AND WILL AGAIN AND AGAIN!) and in both cases the plants were still moist when they arrived....very impressed, the plants are healthy and happy!
