Great looking citrata. Aerangis are one of my favorites.
Many citrata are offered potted, but will do fine mounted if humidity and air movement is sufficient.

Most Aerangis are low light plants. They are found in heavy shade in their african / madagascaran habitats. One of my favorite books is African Orchids in the Wild, and in Cultivation. In it, the authors state that some aerangis are found in areas so shaded, light meters dont even give a reading (ie...Aerangis distincta)
Depending on what type of light source your orchidarium has, id be cautious (if HID or HPS) of their placement. Perhaps low, or stragically under something else so as to provide some shade. The orchidarium should be great for aerangis, based on their compact size and high humidity requirement.
