What a nice plant and blooms. I have a promenaea hybrid but it just struggles. Not sure why.

They like cool temps, high humidity and low light.

I have it under a T5. Maybe it is too much. Thanks. It seemed to pick up after I re-potted it earlier this year, but doesn't look so great now.

I have it under a bank of eight T5's (HO) but it is about three feet away from them and in a corner where it is a bit shaded by other plants.

Hmmm, mine is just under one HO T5 but maybe 8 inches away and behind it is also very reflective silver Mylar. Hard to say if mine is brighter than yours. Maybe.

If I had a light meter I'd check mine, but I don't own one.

That's OK, I don't either. thanks for the help. I think mine is about right. Just checked and it is a bit offside from the actual bulb.
