Nifty! I've never heard of this orchid--what are the cultural reqs of this guy? How do you grow him?

[smwboxer]

Derek, I grow it in a shallow bulb pot with tree fern on the bottom and a coco mix on top. Do not let it dry out but it cannot be soggy. Likes lower/medium light. It's pretty easy to grow and will bloom a couple times of year.
