Default Zygopetalum!

Just another data point. I grow my Zygos in the same house with my phals
and paphs. It is in a brighter section of the greenhouse (maybe 1800 ft-c)
but they receive less light than my oncs. A fair number of the zygos are in
bloom right now, so high light is not a requirement. But some of the zygos
get pretty big (mackayi and some of its hybrids) and that might be an issue
for under light culture.

Hello Claude, Did you tell the orchid vendor that you are growing indoors
under lights?
A good vendor would have asked you & not tried to sell you something that
wouldn't grow in
your environment?
Zygo's need high light & grow outside with Cymbidiums, weather permitting.

Hello everyone!

I have been in contact with a nice orchid vendor who proposed to sell me

a
very big zygopetalum.

I grow Phal, paph and 2 oncidiums.

What are the best condition for a zygopetalum? Are they the same as Phal

and
Paph?
I grow them under fluorescent light!

Thanks

Claude
