Well, I know Ascda Princess Mikasa will grow and bloom in pots indoors. I
think that's a pretty bulletproof orchid. And, IMHO, drop dead gorgeous to
boot. I guess that's why they are readily available. Come in both pink and
purple colors. I had mine in a plastic pot in medium bark. Under the
brightest light I could manage. (Either in a window or later under lights)
Like an idiot I let that one die one day, and it didn't bother me too much,
thinking it was too common. Ha! Only a fool doesn't recognize a truly
charming friend when one sees it. I have since rebought 2.

Hi all,

I've been growing orchids for about two years now. For the most part,
they're growing well and reblooming for me. I turned my dining room into
a
plant and craft room, with the orchids in two south facing windows with
sheer curtains. The temp is around 65-70 at night and anywhere from 70-80
during the day, depending on how much sun there is. The humidity is
around
45-50%, with the help of a humidifier during heating season. I'm growing
Phals, Oncidiums, a couple Dends, standard Cymbidiums (haven't been
successful reblooming those yet), and mini Catts. Almost everything is in
S/H, some are in a CHC/charcoal/perlite mix. I am a big fan of blue
flowers, and I would like to try Vandas, especially after seeing Ray's
recent picture of ?? Thai Sky. Could I grow them successfully in these
conditions and if so what culture method should I try? TIA for any help.
I've learned so much from this group!

Chris
