I grow mine in seedling -grade bark, kept moist, not soggy. You can cut the top & bottom off a plastic 1-liter seltzer bottle, slip that over the plant to keep the humidity higher (or grow in a terrarium). Phalaenopsis light, mine blooms 2-3 times a year, usually after a flush of growth & a modest temperature drop.

That sounds good! I might have to get one of those.
