Default Lighting for One Phal.

Steve,

Thanks for the reply.

I am a student and my space is limited. I cannot put anything in the
window. Actually, the plant is on a desk that is butted against the
window. Between the light I am planning to buy and the tray that I am
using to create some humidity, I simply don't have the room. As soon as
I have some room, I'll go the full measure. I already have my eye on
many, many things.

I got my first orchid when I was in college. Then my second, then 3
more... then I graduated, got a job and my own place. That's when things
started getting out of hand. :-)

One last bit of advice. Don't compromise the light just so you can fit
in a humidity tray. Humidity trays are not very effective at all but
more light can work wonders. It sounds like what you plan to do will
work just fine though.
