Truly beautiful. I love leafless orchids!

I have a few chiloschistas and I've struggled and struggled with them. The only time I was able to grow them well was when I lived in NYC years ago, go figure.

Even there I did grow under lights and used pure water, fairly bright light. Back then I used HIDs, now I use LED's, thinking it could be that, but just don't know. In fact LED's were too bright and I had to cut back. This year they haven't really started growing, just little leaves started and no growing root tips the whole darn year. I mist them like every day sometimes 2x day, fans to circulate in grow tank. Indoors year around. only thing left to try is on windowsill or outside but it's already fall so not sure... so have you noticed a growth cycle? any particular observations or tips for care?
