I grow in my living room on a humidity tray, under a CFL grow light. I mist them daily and water through the pots intermittently. My cattleyas & their friends do fine, my mini-phalaenopsis do fine. Dendrobiums are hit and miss, and I don't seem to do well with the really pretty pendulous ones, e.g. Den sulawesiense, or the similar-flowered miniatures, e.g. Den laevifolium. A Haraella retrocalla I got recently got dehydrated, but I moved it from bark into sphagnum and it appears to have stabilized now, so I'm hoping it will do all right.

That said.

A grower in my area is offering Aerides houlletianum and Aerides odorata. The flowers look *beautiful*. Culture information I'm finding online seems kind of mixed, and I'm especially concerned about humidity -- how do those of you who grow these treat them? Would you recommend them for an in-the-house, no-greenhouse situation?
