New at these! Latourii Dend question.

I think that every one answered similarly. I am in a very arid climate here. We rarely get over 40% humidity. The C. K. Aka is in Semi Hydro. So, I am being told the atroviolicia and even aberenes need way more water than the AOS says. Where is the "invisible" normal for AOS. What city is this normal located in?

I have found their culture sheets to have a south Florida bias. They are pretty useless where I live too, (I have written my own for the "Orchids 101" classes that I present at shows and club meetings)

They do for me. I believe it's more one's environment and particular culture that dictate whether the plant will grow in semi-hydro, not the plant itself.
