I just now seen this post so I thought I would fill out how I'm growing mine:
1) potted or mounted I've mounted mine on cork
2) open or in orchidarium Open. Will be enclosed in a plant shelf this fall.
3) indoors/outdoors Outdoors
4) approx amount of light (shaded or bright would be good enough) Bright light, it's on a plant shelf up against the house on the north side. It gets light sun in the late afternoon
5) Approx temps Right now 85 to 90. Next week low 70's the lows are 60's right now, next week low 50's
6) Approx humidity 45% day, higher at night
7) watering and fertilizer regime organic foliar feeding daily with a regular grow fertilizer once a week. I mist daily in the afternoon.

Mounted on cork
It is open to room air

Under lights for 12-14 hrs. about 600-700 footcandles
Temps have been 75-85 day and 65-75 night variable
About 45-60% humidity also variable
Watering - misting twice a day with diluted fertilizer

Neverend, They only thing that could prevent your participation is if you couldn't source the plant that is chosen as the project plant. In the previous projects people have participated from all over the world: Europe, South America, Australia, etc.
I think it would be great to have you participate in the next project!
