So do I. Bryant is in the Philippines, so these species as well as the hybrid should be really easy to grow, both with regard to temperature and also humidity. But the species are really forgiving... I grow both of them outside in coastal southern California, where they get winter temperatures down to 40 deg F (4 deg C) or a little lower. I grow sesquipedale next to the outside of the greenhouse, so it gets a teensy bit more warmth, but not much. Angcm. magdalenae is even more forgiving. They would, of course, like to be warmer, but don't insist on it.
I suspect that the hybrid is even more forgiving. The magdalenae would tend, I think, to make the hybrid more cold-tolerant, as well as to keep the size down.
