Pleurothallis linearifolia - Orchid Board

I've recently acquired a Pleurothallis linearifolia.
I've found out Pleurothallis are usually epiphyte and need high humidity level, but I'd like more specific info about this species and care tips.
I've never had a Pleurothallidinae before, so any advice is welcome.

I have not grown it but it's said to be an intermediate species so it prefers temperatures from 55F to 80F. It most like also like bright shade and high humidity (70%-80%) Most like to remain moist but not be soggy. Don't let it dry completely out.

Thanks for your tips, Harry.

Where I live temperature range is 13ºC - 30 ºC (55F - 80F) and it's humid, around 80% in winter and 50%-60% in summer. So it should do quite well, I suppose.
