It's on the cattleya shelf on my tented shelves, so it gets lots of light and is right in front of the fan, and stays pretty warm-- high 70s and low 80s during the day in winter, low 70s at night. The shelf it is on has misters, but it isn't in the direct path of the misters so it just gets the humidity. It's been in this pot for 18 months and in this position in my grow setup for at least 8 months now.
As soon as I put it in semi hydro the root growth ramped up, it was dramatic. Mine really likes having access to water.
Keysguy, if I lived in the Keys, I'd definitely try it mounted on a tree! Too cold and dry here-- semi hydro in a tent seems to be the best I can do.
