Gorgeous!
I can't help with suggestions.
This thread was a fun read and it's nice to see all your effort paying off.

Do you live in an area that is suffering from drought, or do you get decent rains? What are your temps like?
I spend my winters dreaming of places with palm trees.

Hi hi laurel live in Brisbane in Australia. We r in summer at the moment and temps range during day from 20-35 degrees some times more with 70-80% humidity. Winter days between 15-20 degrees lower humidity than summer.

It has rained here for 3 days on and off with water pooling in yard but today is beautiful n sunny with temp of 26 degrees with 55% humidity.

The neighbours have palm trees approx 3 story's high :-)

Hope this helps

Yes, I saw the trees in your earlier photos. Gave me mental moments in Hawaii.
Looks like you live in orchid heaven.

Wow wow wow!!! Its HUGE!! But i dont see any glass, is it enclosed? Or is it a shade house of sorts?

It's covered with shade cloth that was put up by grandfather in late 70s early 80s so it's really worn and a lot of light gets in.

I found about 4 sheets of glass on the ground that are about 1mtr long by 30cm wide that I have no idea what he used for??? Thought I might b able to rig something up for higher humidity but worried if I do it wrong i will have cooked orchids :-s lol

Apparently the whole orchid house was full top to bottom before he passed but that was about 5yrs ago and over time people came in and took what they wanted and a lot died from neglect while they sat inside.

You have some room, so nice!!
