Greetings and question about phaius culture

[nynighthawk]

Greetings all,

I am a newbie to this forum and am looking forward to some lively and helpful discussions with you all.

I live in Brooklyn, NY (zone 7) and have had some success with cymbidiums by summering them outdoors in my small semi-shaded garden and wintering them indoors in a cool room with artificial light.

I am interested in adding some other orchids to my family, but since I don't have much room, I'm trying to find orchids that can take conditions similar to the cymbidiums, or thereabouts.

I just purchased a young phaius - Phaius Dan Rosenberg 'Mellow Yellow' - on eBay (first time I've bought anything like that at auction...lots of fun). I did receive a culture sheet with the plant, but I'm wondering if any of you have had any experience with phaius plants and can give me any additional guidance.

Thanks for any suggestions or first-hand experiences.

I am curious about a couple of other orchids, but I'll post those questions separately to avoid overly-complicated threads.

Best wishes,

Jess
