In summer...humm, may rise to 28ºC indoors (lower 80's), that's the coolest I can get inside at summer.
Should be fine. I used to grow a bunch of Stans in Hawaii, where it regularly gets to about 90ºF. Nina Rach (who created the Stanhopea pages) grows her Stans in Houston, where temps regularly get into the high 90's or low 100's.

At least I can grow cool growing phaps in the window I'm talking about.
Main problem now is humidity. When I get 28 indoors, outside there are temps between 90 and 105 (30 to 40ºC) and % between 15 and 20.
I'd need to water alot.

I grow under lights and outdoors in the summer. The indoor temp's are 58* to 70*. The lights are on for 12 hours and a fogger is on a timer off and on a number of times over 24 hours.
My stanhopeas have gone through tems as high as 100* out doors in the summer. They don't like it,but as long as the don't dry out they are ok. the flowers how ever will not last long.
Indoors I try to keep the humidity around 70% to 80% with the Hydro-Fogger.
