gotta go with a phrag on this one, with a caveat that it's NOT a long-petalled species. most phrags love the stuff!

I'm not going for any one type as it depends on the environment that they can offer

I'd go with a common variety cane Den. They're inexpensive at the box store & the only thing I still have growing in S/H.

My vote was for phal with new roots tips showing or being in the growth mode. Any orchid needs to be in active growth though before transferring. I find big mature orchids do better in SH than small seedlings/ or weak growers.

I went the Phrag as I have one in S/H and its growing like crazy. I also have a Phal in s/h and it appears to be ok. I believe the Phrag in s/h would be the easiest plant for any grower, new or old to have succeed in any growing area.
