New brassias, with a couple questions

[PhysicsMike]

Thanks for the reply. They are on my deck (on the north side under a translucent roof) no direct, but during the summer a goodly amount of indirect. The greenhouse they came from (3) watered every morning from above. So, here the soak and let dry method is probably best? Thanks again for the help and the link. (Bring them in before night temps drop into the 50's?)

When they are in growth(ex. leads,developing spike or buds), they like to be evenly moist. But when in flower or not in growth, they like to have a wet and dry waterings. I have one of the brassia. And have high light in the upper levels of the oncidium group but less than cattleya light. And yes, keep it above 50 as they are warm-growing. And regular better-gro water soluable fertilizers would be fine. And when it flowers again do not stake it if you want a natural look. What medium is the brassia in? And what area you live in?

And they like humidity also.
