In the north of England would you still keep it wet despite the difference in weather we have, I keep it and my other Orchids in a central heated house 21c with 9 hours of daylight at present but improving weekly and 7 hours under normal house lighting.

I would think so. I grow mine outdoors in winter and indoors during the summer. Right now it is 21c outside and it will be 15c in several hours. My Nelly Isler loves it cool. It suffers if I leave it out in the summer heat. I keep it wet year round.
