And yes, as you've read, Aerangis fastuosa can be a finnicky little plant.

Let me preface this by saying that the plant I'm referring to was purchased without a tag so it might be a different plant entirely. But it looks and smells like a Sharry Baby, and no question that size is an issue. I divided mine last year and may well again this to keep it at a size I have winter space for. It's been outside a couple weeks now and is about ready to go in to its half day sun location until the fall. I keep it under moderately bright leds over the winter, and to my surprise it produced 2 spikes while inside this past winter. They weren't as impressive as the summer spikes, but considering all I really want is for the plant to not deteriorate over the winter, any bloom was a pleasant bonus.
