Default Can I grow orchid Cymbidium in an office without window?

just bought a 6" orchid cymbidium in HD. It looks lovely with 3
stalks of buds! I put it in my office on top of the pebble tray. I
guess this takes care of the humidity issue. My office temperature is
constant at 65F but I can adjust if necessary. My office does not have
a window but I will have the lights on for about 10 hours for
weekdays. I plan to feed it with MicroGro Azalea Camellia... food
every other week, 1 tsp per gallon concentration.

Are all the above humidity + temperature + light + feed condition good
enough for cymbidium to happily flower in my office? This is my first
year to gardening. Very anxious and excited!


Enjoy it in your office while it's in bloom, but it will need much
more light to grow and rebloom again.
