Default New plants, could use advice

I grow inside in an appartment. I have taken to woodden racks and turnd them
into a small improvised greenhouse. Just to get the humidity up. The plants
in thtere get light from above, the east the west and the north. It's in a
veranda we have. There are 2 small computor ventilators and a small mist
machine from an indoor fontain, in it to.

Peter,

Sounds like this store is giving everything away. Where do I have to go

to
find a place like that

All the plants you listed are high light (Vanda light) plants. I grow my
Asc. curvifolium in the greenhouse with high light in a wooden basket. I
have a few chucks of cocohusk in the basket to keep the humidity up. When
it gets sufficient light the curvifolium foliage has red dots on the

leaves.

The cirrhopetalum I have in a wooden basket filled with moss. I give it
less light than the vandas but more than the phals. I hang it were it

will
get good air movement.

I believe the Renanthera takes the same culture as the Vandas and
Ascocendria.

With all of these high light plants are you growing outdoors or in a
greenhouse?

Good Growing,
Gene

Hallo everybody
I tried Rob's rule nr 1 yesterday.
I went out to buy an orchid. (Second vanda coerulea). But the store gave

it
to me as a present to. (Hip Hip hoera)
I also got 3 tickets for a tombola. Guess what I won something. So today

I
went back there to get my prize. A coupon to buy more plants. (just

lovely)
So I bought some more plants. (Renathera imschootiana and a vanda Dr.
Anek*V.Chindavat).
Now every customer gets 10% of the value bought for after ten visites.

And
that was another ?15. So I bought a Ascocentrum curvifolium for it and

got
a
cirrhopetalum species as a gift. (Been in business for 25 years)

I just don't know anything about renanthera, ascocentrum and

cirrhopetalum.
I got some advice on the cirrhopetalum but forgot to ask about the

others.
So if anyone has any advice she/he would be willing to share with me, I
would be greatfull.

Peter the greatfull
