Trisetella care? Particularly Hoeijeri.

Interested to hear from people who keep Trisetellas. What do they like? T. hoeijeri in particular. My goodness the flowers are nice. I'm just having some trouble finding particular numbers on everything.

I do grow that one (and one or two others in the genus) outside on my patio. Summer highs in the mid 80's F (occasionally more) pushes the limits a bit, but I give an extra watering on the hottest afternoons and that seems to be enough to keep them happy. Winter lows in the low 40's F or occasionally a bit lower are not problem. Needs moisture (my sprinkling makes up for lower-than-ideal humidity) and good (like RO) water.

That's good to know, thanks. I'll probably have to pick one of these up at some point.

This one is a twig epiphyte, I think. So, decent humidity, air movement, constant moisture without getting it soggy?

Sounds about right. T. hoeijeri is especially cute - flowers are little birds.
