Angraecum sesquipidale outdoors in Massachusetts USA? Male
Default Angraecum sesquipidale outdoors in Massachusetts USA?

I have a blooming size Angraecum sesquipidale, it's about 16 inches tall with about an 18 inch leaf span (9 inches per side).

I'm thinking it might like it outside in the summer but I don't quite understand the best conditions for it. I see some sources saying it likes high light because it grows on the top of canopies in the wild, but other places say bright light and partial shade. I'm pretty sure it's warm to hot growing, but then other places say intermediate.

Right now, daytime temps are around 78F and nighttime temps are around 55F. I have tons of direct sun that reaches into the low 90s on the hottest days right now. Those temperatures all shift up by about 5-10F on average in the heart of the summer. The summer is typically pretty dry – we don't water our lawn and it bakes in the heat and browns during July and into August.

I've seen Roberta on here saying it's a low-elevation plant and away from the coast so it likes heat and doe not like temps below 50F. Might 55F be a sweet spot then, or is it too cold?

Right now it's growing indoors where the temperature is constantly 70-75F. It's in a room with sky light windows, so it's bright in there but not direct sun and not bright enough to see a crisp shadow when my hand is 12 inches above the plant.

Thanks.
