bulbophyllum pectinatum (aka transarisanense)

An orchid grower friend of mine almost had to throw it after me last year. He had it labelled Bulb. obrierianum and I confused it with B. brierianum, and did not want to have it. Now I'm a very lucky girl!

But...since I did not want to have it I put it in the GH (It's usually my husbands territory, since my plants are more warm growing). And if it hade been a B. obrierianum, it would had suffered, but since it was not. The plant was very happy.

It has been given "medium" (for me, I grow rather dark) light app.2000 fc. The temp is about 21°C daytime and 14°C. Given water 3-4 times a week.
I have 3 new growths this year, but they are very small, and the roots are quite bad.
