I was wondering, do you grow it in just bark indoors? I have one growing indoors but the medium does not seem to be all that great, wondering if I should switch to bark since yours seem to be doing...

Very stunning! I love the colour contrast.

It actually looks like a miltionopsis to me, not a miltonia (a very common mistake to the point where many shops mislabel them). I couldn't find a 100%...

Interesting theory. I assume this remark only applies to phals? I have hybrid dens which make keikis more often than spikes under certain conditions.

That looks like a den. phal type indeed. If you bought it in a store rather than a nursery it is probably some kind of hybrid. As mentioned before, it won't need a winter rest. Dens generally like...
