Hi Jess,
The info I gave you came from a culture sheet I got off the net and I follow it pretty much (except the fertilizer, I use MSU formular from repotme.com). I've had three reblooms so far and a new potential spike coming now.
I don't have any Phaius....yet. So can't help you there. Yes, growing in Maine is challenging. I have put some of my orchids on my open front porch in summer, but honestly, I have so much trouble with bugs chewing my plants that I'm debating whether to do it again or not. It's an open airy porch, but somewhat enclosed. I never expected to have so much trouble ridding the bugs, saving leaves, etc. Most of my orchids are in a screened/glassed combo sunroom year round. Check out my photos in the gallery for an idea of my setup.
I wish you lots of luck on your zygo and all your plants. My addiction is up there, now. I have over a 100 plants and still don't seem to have enough.
