Default coelogyne cristata var. lemoniana

anyone have experience with coelogyne cristata? i recently purchased a very
fragrant and beautiful var. lemoniana in an 8 inch plastic pot.

was told by grower that this orchid could be grown either in a pot or
basket w/ any fairly 'soft,well drained compost' YET the grower has grown
his for years in nothing - plastic pots w/ the plants 'plopped' in 'em...he
waters & fertilizes every week.

from what i've read they seem to grow easily, grow cool and don't like to be
repotted.
do they like shade, semi shade? what temps are best for day/evening?
humidity requirements?

would truly appreciate any guidance you experts can provide...
