Anyone grow inside? Under fluorescents?
Hello, I'm new to the boards and new to orchids. I want to expand my small windowsill collection of orchids into a project. I planned to build a few wooden shelf units in a room in my basement and to grow under fluorescents with humidity and climate control.
I don't know which genera to focus on. Phals aren't interesting to me. I was thinking about Dendrobiums. Are these not a good choice?
What I plan to do is order just species, no hybrids and learn to cross pollinate, and grow in flasks.
What are the requirements of Dendrobiums, temperature, humidity, food wise? Which species are desirable and not too hard to grow?
