Does anyone know of some lower light Dens?

[let_it_grow]

I have been looking into getting some more Dens and I was looking for some lower light Dens that grow well under lights. I'm gonna be getting a metal halide ballast in the next few months but I have a couple Cyms that will be taking up most of the space under it. I have been looking at Den Spectabile and Den Macrophylum. Does anyone know how they do under lights, what their light requirements are and how hard they are to grow? I grow under T5s right now

There are a lot of Dends that don't need high light.

I've been growing Dend. anceps in Phal light and, so far, so good. It recently started growing quite a few new leads so I'm assuming that the drop in temps is also welcomed for this Dend. No winter rest for this one.

Another good, low light Dend (I've had luck with) is from the Antelope tribe. I've been growing a Lorrie Mortimer in both high and low light, (summer-high, winter-low) and it blooms all year long. 2 spikes are blooming now and both have been growing in very little light. Summer, I get twice the amount but, it never stops putting out blooms.

And also one mini I'm growing named Kathy Beck, in intermediate light, about to bloom for me.

There are tons more but these are a few I can swear by.

Good luck!

I know Andy's site (Andysorchids.com I think) has a great search tool where you can specify the plant and light requirements.
