Growing Vandas outside in the summer, and in the house in the winter

[JScott]

I love Vandas, and I've always wanted to try one. But I live in a climate that is not really the best for them. I could put them outside in the summer. We get hot temperatures and plenty of humidity in the summer, but I'd have to bring it inside in the winter, and that's what worries me. I couldn't put it under my T5 fluorescent lights in the winter, because of all the dangling roots, plus a larger plant would be too tall to fit under the lights anyway. What do you guys in temperate climates do with your vandas in the winter? I have a south window, but the hanging space by the window is taken up by my two Stanhopeas in the winter, and I don't really have room to hang a third plant, plus the humidity is low. Would misting the roots every day compensate for low humidity? What do you guys do with yours in the winter?
