Hi, everyone.

I have been growing phals for a few years now. Yesterday, at the Delray Beach Orchid Society's annual picnic and orchid auction (in a fit of sheer madness) I decided to try something new. I purchased a "Blc Goldenzelle 'Lemon Chiffon' AM/AOS" orchid. Doing a little research on the internet this morning, I found pictures of the bloom but no culture information. I also found out it is a brassocattleya orchid. A lot of good that does me.

I have never kept catleyas and their relatives before, much less brassocatleyas. The plant's substrate seems to be on the dry side today. Could someone tell me about its light, fertilizer and humidity requirements? That would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
Sylvain.
