Default my Neofinetia falcata in semi-hydroponic

Sorry I was not sure if I should post in S/H forum or ths one...

I got my first N. falcata in the beginning of August, and it was done flowering. It had 8 growths, 3 of them had a new leaf just coming out. I repotted it in S/H.
It seems to like it so far, now it has new leaves on 7 of the 8 growths, and lots of new roots coming out + 2 small growths starting at the base of other ones.
The tips of aerial new roots are reddish, but seem to turn green while growing longer... and the roots in the hydroton have green tips.

I grow it on a windowsill with an extra fluorescent 40W spot, between 60 to 70% humidity (on a humidity tray, and in Vancouver BC ), and actual temperatures day: 68-73ºF and night: 64-68ºF. I mist it every morning when I'm around, and water once a week with a mix of hydroponic fertiliser 5-0-1 and 0-5-4 (at 130 ppm Nitrogen = 2 tsp of each per gallon) flushing the reserve.

I am thinking of putting it outside for the winter on a covered patio, as long as it doesn't go below 39ºF. Here in Vancouver BC winters are very humid !!! and not too cold, I think it might like it.
