Default Ceratostylis?

Okay.
I think I am understanding Ceratostylis as a den. family member?

What do we know and how to grow?

The most recent threads about them seem to be from 2009 or a mere mention in a list in a thread about miniature orchids.

So, I am looking for some better answers and culture discussion. What better place than O.B.?

I am a windowsill grower so this plant is ideal for me: I have two species; Ceratostylis rubra and Ceratostylis subulata

These are small sized compact warm to hot growing free flowering in almost all seasons but short-lived flowers that comes from southeast Asia best mounted.
I got this from Kawamoto orchids a couple of years ago

Okay, so is that your east window?
Or south window?
I think I like the idea of having this in with my windowsill plants.
I just want to make sure I give it everything correctly. It will be mounted very soon. I wanted it to rest a little bit after traveling all the way from Hawaii. Mine came from the Carmella people.

I see you are in Manhattan, so I think your zone is similar to mine.
