Most - if not all - orchids do best in what is sometimes described as a
"buoyant" atmosphere, one that is marked by refreshing, moderately moist
breezes.

Not only that, but constant air movement tends to help fend off botrytis
fungal spotting on your flowers.

A fan or two (depending on how big the area is) running 24/7 ought to do
fine. No indoor hurricanes necessary, a gentle, discernable breeze is
sufficient.

Hi all;

I recently moved a number of my orchids to an enclosed area. It gets
dappled sunligfht from a skylight and has an opening at the top of one
wall which is bout 6 feet wide by about 3 feet high. (it is exposed to
the elements here in Florida [SE] at that point).
The builder gave this area the fancy name of "atrium". The air
cirulation is pretty still in this enclosed area. Important?
