Outdoor orchids for oceanic climate

[Burgos]

Hi everyone!

I would like to know if anyone is growing orchids under the conditions of an oceanic climate in a balcony / veranda.

Oceanic climate - Wikipedia

Basically, temperatures are very rarely below 0ºC and hot days can get up to 35ºC a couple of days a year. They are usually between 4ºC min in winter 13ºC maximum and 17ºC min in summer, 25ºC max.

For instance, January's min. temps this year, which was quite cold, were 3.9°C with over a week of freezing (-1, -0.5). It never got colder than 1.1°C on my balcony, though I would have entered the plants in such circumstances.

My climate seems to be quite similar to that in Melbourne and very similar to New Zealand, parts of coastal Brazil, southwestern France...

I am successfully growing the very cool grower Coelogyne cristata, Cymbidium and Dendrobium nobile.

According to some posts on the internet some people do grow some laelias, dendrobium, epidendrum, bifrenarias, maxillarias, sedirea, neofinetia... under these conditions, but it's always good to gather more accounts.
