D. ramellosa! It's super small, and super cute! Currently, where it is at is about 71f and 54% RH. I have a small fan blowing heat away from it, since it is currently under T12s (my T5HO fixture should arrive tomorrow or in a few days). Currently the lights go from 12 pm to 9 pm, and, from the information I've gathered so far, I should decrease this photo period gradually until at about 7 hours during the dead of winter.

The room its in has dropped to 43% RH before, but from what I understand this is fine if using the tray method, and it seems like the humidity drops around 6 am when the heater kicks on. Not ideal, but the best I have got so far.

When I get my fixture, it will be moved to another room in the basement that should have similar conditions, though the humidity should stay a little more stable.

I'm happy to hear any tips, or even call me out if my conditions are completely incorrect! I am willing to learn to grow this lil dude the best I can :D
