😍gorgeous! This is a wishlist plant but I don’t know if I can keep it alive lol. Maybe I’ll make a terrarium to keep the humidity right

@RJG nice… do you give it some extra humidity? Or just regular waterings ?

There is a humidifier in the room. But it's a ways away.

@NMazon one of my previous jewel orchids died because of excessive humidity – it was eaten by some white fungus. I kept it under a glass dome and was stupid enough to water it a bit too much:( now I'm veeery careful with watering, I almost don't do it 😄 and so far everything is ok 🤞
