Chiloschista Lunifera Culture
So I've read what little I can find on this species and a lot of what I've found is a bit conflicting. The only constant is that humidity needs to be high. I have that easy since I'm growing it in a terrarium where I can control the humidity. Lighting and feeding is where I see a lot of different information. I've heard "grow it like a vanda" in terms of strong light - then I've heard it likes light at or even below optimal phal levels. Regarding feeding, I've heard rainwater, very little minerals, etc. - which makes sense, but the "grow it like a vanda" advice would imply that it is a pretty good feeder.
For reference, my culture to date is this:
Light: It's bascally getting the same light as my multifloral paphs.
Temp: 80-85F day / 68-72F night
Humidity: ~85%
Feeding: It's on the same schedule as my paphs & phals and seems to be doing well with it as far as I can tell;
There's no root burn, no brown on the roots, etc.
Watering: Water everyday, sometimes every other. Even though I keep it humid, there's a ton of air movement, so it dries out in a couple hours even with daily watering.
It's been growing roots constantly since I got it (which is good since it's mostly roots to begin with) which I take as a good sign - good growing tips all over, but I suspect I might be growing it a bit too bright - as the tiny leaves it has have a purplish hue (and I even see a little bit of purple on the root tips). It did lose a leaf, but it looks like it's growing a new one - you'd need a magnifying glass to see it, but pretty sure it's there.
Basically, I've read what I feel is as much as I can about these plants, but have not found much personal experience with growing them indoors and blooming them successfully. Regarding blooming, do they need a temperature drop like some varieties or does the day length impact it?
I've attached photos of the plant for reference.
