Me again...Just read some more of your angreacum posts...this plant is in a ceramic pot? If the pot is glazed, cut the watering to about half of what I said before! These plants grow on the edge of jungles in Madagascar, near the ocean so they get plenty of dappled light to strong light and a constant atmosphere that is moist but breezy...very similar to us here in FLA. Angreacums DO NOT like to be disturbed and will sulk for awhile after being repotted...try not to disturb the roots to much and GET IT OUT OF THAT CONTAINER...if it is glazed, pref. a slat basket ( as for Vandas) or a coco-fibre basket with a Cattleya/phal mix and some chunk cork...remember light and airy and moist.
