Growing Cymbidiums in the house

[TylerK]

I'm in a similar position to the OP, except that I can't put them outside at all...even during the summer. I'm on the top floor of a tall condo with great light from a south-western exposure, but I have no balcony or outside space to speak of. During the afternoon my light meter pushes past its 5000 foot candle max, so I'm fairly confident I have enough light to bloom them. I'm concerned about the required temperatures though.

They're currently sitting on a tiled ledge right up against my windows. I'm hoping that the temperatures there during the winter (esp. at night) will go low enough to initiate blooming. Do you think I have any hope?
