Interesting that you say most humid ; I have several plants of this species, growing with all the other Cats, and I always think they look too dry ; I have gone to fine bark, well sieved, and was thinking of a repot into sphag' moss when next appropriate. Could be a good thing I think in view of what you say.
A good form, you have there, as well as colour which can only be called magnificent.

Thank you Geoff! I don't know about the sphag. Everything I've read about that and this plant basically say's proceed with extreme caution.
