I grow under fluorescent lights and would like a phragmipedium. I can control the temperature these are the temperatures that I have:
Day temps: 75F, 80F, or 85F
Night temps: 65F or 60F
My lights are 40 watt, Sylvania-Gro-Lux, 2 tube fixture. I also grow 2 no ID phals under there and a Paph. delenatii and a Paph. Magical Venus.
I was thinking about upgrading to a four tube fixture. Can phrags be grown and bloomed under these lights?If so, what is a good beginner phrag? Phrag. percie? (or however you spell it)
I've seen a few phrags at orchid society meetings that weren't too big (1-1.5ft I guess), unfortunately I can't remember the exact grex, but they were in the besseae lineage. The plant didn't have many growths on it, and I suspect had the potential to get quite a bit bigger.
