i live in southern bc canada. the plants are in a WN facing window but get a lot of bright (but indirect) afternoon and evening sun.
(when i first got my phal and aliceara the flowers lasted about a month so i think there probably isn't enough sunlight for them in this window in the winter, but i am hoping it will be enough in the summer.)
temps here are very variable. can be 10-15 at night and 18-25 day. i mist and water more often in the heat and the window provides a good breeze. it will get warmer as the summer progresses.
i actually thought the cooler growing masd would not do very well, but it is growing. i wonder if it was already too hot for the trochilus. i have the options of moving some plants to my partner's place, which is a SW facing basement, cool and bright.
the obovbata is in mostly moss right now and i am considering repotting it; however, i have read that they dislike disruption and overpotting, and it is so small that i am tempted to leave it as it is.
it's the trigonidium, the stelis and the obovata that i am most concerned about at the moment. the jumellea seems dormant but is a decent size and healthy.
i'm not sure if this is the best spot on the forum to get information but i thought if i could get some help with the whole group instead of each one in the species forums, that i might learn more.
much appreciated.
