Default Help me choose which Phrag to buy

I need you to help me spend my money! While I’m somewhat experienced at growing orchids, Phrags are still relatively new to me. I bought a Phrag Sedenii 2 years ago and love the flowers and the fact that it’s a super easy and fast-growing plant.

I now want to buy another Phrag, and spotted a couple at the vendor I’m ordering from that I think might fit my criteria. But not being very knowledgeable in Phrags, I would like some help. My criteria are:
  • Grows intermediate-warm (my grow area is usually 17-25°C / 62-77°F), and can cope with heatwaves which are now becoming a yearly occurrence (30°C/ 85°F in my apartment)
  • Beginner friendly
  • Preferably something that stays somewhat compact.


My choices so far:
Phrag. longifolium x St Ouen
Phrag. QF Maria (lindleyanum x dalessandroi)
Phrag. Geralda (caudatum x lindleyanum)

Do any of these meet my criteria? I read that long petal types are not the easiest to start with, which would exclude the last one, and also don’t know how warmth tolerant any of them are.
