oops
I realized I only answered half of the query
I also grow some Miltoniopsis here in East Texas (guess I like the challenges, eh?)
I have M. Rene Komoda that is very happy with me, as well as M. Wild West, and Yosemite Sam, and for these babies I have them in the greenhouse near the wet wall -- a contraption for evaporating moisture into the air to cool it down. So in summer, I can keep the air temp below 90, usually about 85 or so -- the closer the cooler. they are 60 at night in the winter.
I can say that my miltoniopsis are happiest when they are cooler, with lotsa air movement, and again starvation rations on the fertilizer. They also repsonded with more spikes, and longer spikes on the less N regimen.
Again, hope this helps
Take care
May all your orchids bloom like crazy
