Jenny, I keep mine about 8 inches from a South window. The cat needs 8 inches or he'll make 8 inches.... I don't give it any specific temperatures other than whatever the Dining room is at during the day and night... sorry I'm not more specific. Look at it this way.. ***I like the windows and doors open whenever possible so Low 70's during the day... My wife gets cold at night so she closes everything and turns the heat on when the temps dip to 60 at night.*** The windows are never open where the plants are. As soon as the night temps outside stay above 50 all the high light orchids will be tossed outside. CB seems to like it. I also have a Bollopetalum right next to it about to open 3 blooms. Something is right about the place they sit.. Maybe Gideon (cat) is doing some secret gardening while we're away.
