Even though space in my orchid tank is very limited and should be used very wise - I put them into the far left corner at the bottom.
That place is very humid and doesn't get much of direct light:
The temperature might be a problem since during the day it raises up to 25C, but probably 25C in 80% humidity is still better than 22C in 35% humidity, so I think they should be greatful.
Actually now I have this frustrating puzzle-sort of a game - "how to fit more orchids in a tank", and I can never win this game.
Yesterday I decided to put one vandaceous in there too, just to see if my lights will be enough to bloom vanda. Lucky plant is Vandachostylis Sri-Siam, it is blooming sized, has lots of roots and not too large. I raised it a bit above phals, so it could get more light:
Another observation - I noticed that my phals leaf color becomes lighter and lighter every day, it is especially light on bellinas. I am wondering if they are burning under these lights or is it a good sign of sufficient lighting.
