It's on a shelf about 2 feet away from t-5 lights. Two bulbs on in summer and I just put the 4 bulbs on for coming winter. Humidity runs from low of 40 to high of 75 depending on weather outside. ( I run humidifiers when it's really dry outside) Temp range from 60sF nights and up to 85 days in summer, only gets to about 70F days in winter. Water twice a week summer and once a week winter. Light fert. twice a month.
My grow space gets very little sun, thus the t-5s |

I believe this is a cool grower, right?
What's the flower size?

I don't know if it's considered a cool grower, but I listed the temps it gets here and it likes it enough to bloom, so I guess that's what it likes. It did survive my debacle of 114F degree day that I posted a while back. the bloom is about 2" tall and 2" from tip to tip. The plant is about 1" tall with a 5 inch wingspan.

Doesn't look tiny to me, but I tend to grow small things. I love the colour combo though.
