Question Conditions for Intergenics?



I'd like to hear what conditions people are using for growing their intergenics...

I have two growing areas, one med light with cool to medium temps, and one bright light with warm/high temps (Catts, Dends). Right now my little collection of intergenics is with the med light/med temp (Paphs, Phrags and Phals). They seem to be doing okay, but I wonder about getting them to rebloom....

Maybe not enough light??

Can they take the high light and temp of the Catt growing area?

In the winter ,mine sit in no man's land, under the bench in the growroom, low light, water maybe 8-10 days....spring they go out to the lath house, very bright light,very warm, fertilizer every watering....works for me.

Hmmmm.
Some of my intergenics need a definate rest period(cooler temps) , some just keep making new growth in the warm/bright conditions in my growroom over the cooler months.
I moved several to a west window(unheated) from April onwards & most have flowered or are spiking.
Colmanara,s are flowering machines for me , they just keep putting out spikes as soon as a PB(or PB,s) have almost matured.They spent the cooler months in the growroom getting as much light(& bit more) as they can take ,slightly higher than my Phals.Wilsonara,s are about the same as the Colmanara,s but a little slower in growth.
Miltiniopsis do seem to need a rest period.
