I think this is one of the orchids that needs to dry out very fast. So, don't keep it wet. I am trying to remember what Alan Koch (Gold Country) said about aclandiae. I think it was that it is a twig epiphyte, and benefits from sunlight on the roots, and will produce food from chlorophyll in the roots, hence basket culture where the roots are exposed. My solution is to use clay pots for the bifoliates like aclandiae and all my rupiculous Laelias, so they dry really fast, but ignoring the sun light on roots. They seem to doing very well with this treatment.
