Does is look fine?

So recently (8th May) I bought my first Macodes petola. It seems to be doing fine but I would rather have your opinions. Any advices on taking care is welcome

It's been watered twice since it's with me. Last watering was 16th May and I gently bottom soaked it and carefully poured some water from the top. It's weight rise from ~41g to ~61g, mostly after top watering because it didn't absorbed much water from soaking. The water I use is mix of demineralised water with bottled water for humans (one with low minerals anyway) 50/50.

It's placed in small airy 'greenhouse'. The humidity is between 50-60% (recently closer to 50% due to weather but I'm working on locally increasing it to keep steady 55-60%). Close to balcony south-west window and it have around 30-40 minutes daily of direct light (when sun rays are shining directly at it) around 19:00, otherwise it's just light room (unless it's cloudy). I'm thinking about getting some additional light but I'm not sure if it's really needed.

Pictures are from different days. The first two are from today.
