Your area is very nice for it..it is an intermediate grower, so your temps are really very suitable for it, compared to my old hometown in the lowlands were temps are just much warmer.
Just shelter it in your bright area, it will rest for now and pretty much it will bloom there around the dry season again over there, which will be November..which is good timing for it, the start of the nice cool season there too. In my area it blooms during early Fall or early Spring.
I remember we use a mix of charcoal, coco nuggets/pieces over there. Unless you have access to finer bark mix, that would be excellent for it. But since it is quite humid and rainy there, our usual media there will work much better, to help it drain faster.
In my area since it is just so dry here and so low humidity, I tend to water this a lot more than usual, such a thirsty plant...in your location, with the high humidity and very frequent rains, you would need to have a fast draining media, so the roots will not rot from being too wet, since it will take a lot longer drying time for it.
