Antone, I've been told by a few growers that this species is one of the easiest to grow along with the one Nate has. The grower that had the plant I photographed said they kept the house at a minimum of 60F in the winter/90F in the summer and between 40 and 90% humidity. The house was very bright as can be seen from the coloration on this Dendrobium
They do not like to be disturbed so that could be a reason that newly imported specimens so often fail. Nate as well as 2 other people who got their plants from Andy's are still growing them some more than 2 years later. But, they aren't cheap. I'll post a picture of what I get when it arrives.
They had some huge specimens of many oddball plants. One I failed to take a picture of was Isbelia virginalis. It must have had 500 pseudobulbs. Here's my very small plant of the same species
