Default Bulbo lasiochilum & Dend. anceps Newbies

I went to my favorite orchid supplier, Machiela's Orchids today, strictly to get tree fern fiber and nothing else!

I don't know how this happened but, it happens every time....2 additions that I couldn't resist.

Pic. 1: Bulbophyllum lasiochilum 'Dark'. I potted it in sphag., CHC and, tree fern fiber. Thought I'd try this tree fern pot as this plant loves to ramble and will take to the fiber easily.

Pic. 2: Dendrobium anceps

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Yvan!

Can anybody give me a little info on the Dend. anceps? I was told they don't need as high light as caned Dends but, how much?

Me either cowboy. Thanks for the heads-up!

...and thank you, Dorothy. That 'partial sun' icon always throws me on the IOPSE site. Partial = left to intrepretation I originally thought, Phal light so, I'm glad you linked this. Thank you once again!
