We grow our vandas in a 144 sq ft. greenhouse (in NH) using supplemental lighting (440W HPS lamp) to extend daylight; a fogger to keep humidity at 85% (also water plants thoroughly every other day in winter); six fans keep air moving all the time. Low (night) temp is 60-62. Winter daytime temp (without asking for more than 60-62 from the heater) is 75-85, except on cloudy days. Feeding (formulae) varies throughout the year. Result: great blooms

Now that is a formula that would even make me bloom!
