In relation to the orchid culture, I would keep it under lighting 16 hours per day between 74-88 degrees. At night allow the temp to drop to anything below 72, and above 65.
Use Fertilizer at .25 TSP twice weekly.
Humidity around 80-90.
That is just for growth, once you are ready to bloom it, you will need entirely new conditions to make that happen.
Here is a photo showing the flower tip that had a failed flower, forced to reproduce a new bud and it is going along nicely, though will miss the Wedding date of 27 June no doubt.
