I grew mine in lots of light for a long while, mounted & got nowhere with it. It flowered but slow growing & the plant looked hard, not soft & happy. I potted it into a normal pot with medium bark, put it on a bench under normal Vanda's & surrounded by other plants, its never looked or grown better. Temp range is extensive, 6c - 45c. It gets water & food with everything else. That's it.
