Hi, I'm Johan, i live in the netherlands. Sometimes i take alook on the forums. I remember buying my first brassavola.
Brassavola's need a lot of light. The leaves tend to color red sometimes when there is to much light, it's a good indication. I use to grow them in the top of my viv, and they bloomed each year. They like higher temps. Keep the roots dry and the humidity high, and a lot of air circulation. I saw brassavola's grow in Costa Rica on trees on the beach, wind, rain and warmth! They seem to like a little dry period, though.
