Hmmmm. My fans blow directly on my orchids 24/7 with no adverse affect. In fact many are in spike or new growth. I haven't done anything to try (in vain I am sure) to raise humidity with the fans.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
