Oh I have like 40 plants already.
There's quite a few that are outside only, some venus fly traps and a Sarracenia. The rest of the carnivorous ones are inside in a grow cabinet, but some of them I'm thinking I could move a few outside and they'd be fine.
I'm also thinking of getting another grow cabinet to split up some of the plants, mainly the Nepenthes as I have a few lowlanders that need to be in an environment that's a bit warmer than 75 degrees Fahrenheit and don't need higher night time humidity. The more intermediate and semi-highlander (I don't have the means to grow ultra-highlanders) Nepenthes could, in the future, chill in a cabinet of their own with some orchids that have similar growing conditions.
Some others are pretty common houseplants; Pothos, Calathea, some succulents, Philodendron, Dracaena.
Luckily none of the windows will be just filled with plants.
So right now for an orchid, I'm thinking a Neo that can go outside in the shade would be a good starting point.
