Bulbophyllum Cameronense

[orchidsal]

I wish you luck with this beauty Gavin. It likes fairly intermediate conditions, yes? I have been wondering what you can do in a hot humid climate to cool the air and not effectively dry it out to much. That's not going to be easy unless you have refrigerated air conditioning with maybe a humidifier blowing right at the orchid. Not worth it for one orchid unless you had the air on for your own comfort (the expense though). Any way I hope it does well. AL

Sometimes, we may be able to train it to acclimatise to the lowland conditions (which Im hoping to do), air conditioning is not practical as Id probably wind up bankrupt by the end of the year through paying my electricity bill. Im just thinking that I may take it to the office as we have a small internal courtyard with a man made waterfall and the dampness and coolness coupled with the air circulation may be good for the plant.
