Alright, so they need high humidity, and a breeze, but not too much of a breeze... i think I can manage that. I setup my fogger in the little grow area, and it gets the humidity up to 70%, which is a vast improvement over the 35% without it. I've got a little 4" fan running 24/7 in there on low setting to move around some air and cool the 430w hps. I figured the humidity in your orchidarium has to be at least 60% yes?

I read that thread where you acquired the Sedirea already mounted, it seemed like it was dying to start with, so you must be doing something right if it's still alive and trying to bloom!

As for the possibility of light hurting the spike, are you saying that with your experience they don't seem to like a lot of light? That correlates with what I've read about them, to keep them a minimum of 4 feet from any high intensity light.

Might be a good contender for S/H...
