Cool growing orchids in your house

[Kim Brown]

Hi, all!

Is there any trick that allows you to successfully grow cool orchids in your house?

I have a Zygo hybrid, a Miltoniopsis hybrid, a Trichopilia suavis, and, most significantly, two Oncidium alexandrae hybrids. All of these, I understand, are cooler growers. Is there any way to cool the air around them in the living room/windowsill? Could a small fan or an air humidifier work?

I dream of growing the species Oncidium alexandrae one day, but the nearest goal is no doubt keeping the hybrids happy and healthy.

Any tips?
