The stuff in the photo looks like Orchiata to me, but dried, which I never got back when I bought, resold, and used the stuff. I don't recall a lot of thin pieces, though.

Brother Tze tapes, black on white, are the most durable, and they will adhere well to most surfaces; probably not wood.

When I whittled down my collection and sold my greenhouse prior to relocating, I did something similar.

It may have gotten damaged. Cut it off, stick it in a vase, and enjoy the blossoms while you can.

As I am probably “the guy”, I think you may have misconstrued the advice.

Water is absolutely the driving force for growth, but that has to do with water availability to the plant, not the...

I'd grow it like any other cattleya and let it get big enough to bloom.

Looks like there was some sloppy labeling.

Water does not cause rot. Water pooled in the crown might provide an incubator for pathogens, but one night is probably insufficient to be an issue.

In the home, shoot for about 50% RH. That...
