Sandra, I'm glad you like my set-up, thanks. And yes I find the fans are essential. Good air circulation is essential for the prevention of all kinds of rot and fungus and to provide a fresh atmosphere. Here in Melbourne our summers can be 40C+ (105F+) and the fans also serve to cool the plants off a little. I actually should have more fans than what I do, I really should have fans on the smaller shelf on the right or perhaps a large oscilating fan for the whole area.

Vivienne, Thanks for posting the pictures. It's great to see how people incorporate their orchid growing right into their living spaces. It's good evidence for how many orchids can be grown in the home without special conditions. The "bright indirect sunlight" part of the room will be nice for all sorts of orchids that don't like the more harsh direct sunlight.

Cheers
