I was mostly referring to the fact that generally, the "standards" prefer it
much brighter AND cooler than most of the miniatures, and are less tolerant

if I'm going to air condition it in the summer!

Still not for me, then. Low light and low temperatures almost all year
round. 13C outside right now, and snow within two months. Oh, well.

Or - low light isn't exactly right. My blue vanda (strap leaved) has
started folding it new leaves - they just won't open. I have been told
this is because my 250W light source is giving it too much light. I
still couldn't fit a full-sized cymbidium under there without tossing
out all the other ones.
