Orchid Growth Under T5HOs
Please don't flame me if this has been answered before. I looked but I'm not finding the answer. After searching on here I feel a little bit of information overload.
I use Exo-Terras for breeding carpet chameleons (F. lateralis). I have T5HOs on the cages and they are fully-planted. Since lateralis is a smaller species I can incorporate more delicate plant species.
What in your opinions is the "easiest" flowering orchid to grow under these conditions? There are automatic misters and the cages typically range in the 80s F. That means the flowers would get wet sometimes.
I'm open to planting in the substrate or mounting. Perpetual bloomer would be best but I don't know if that's realistic. More often is prettier of course.
If on the ground the base of the plant would be roughly 18" from the lights.
Thanks for any help. I have a feeling the standard Home Depot Phal is not going to last in there.
