Rob
I'm new to this forum and welcome helpful tips on growing miniature orchids, espcially sophronitis and the hybrids based on sophronitis. I use to grow orchids indoors years ago but have just started on this new interest. I am growing 13 miniatures on humidity trays in a kitchen window sill that has very bright light. Our house stays on the cool side 72-76F, and the window sill faces east.
I look forward to hearing about and discussing miniature orchid culture.
Peace,
Rob

Welcome and nice to have you aboard. I think miniature orchids are great. Never run out of space. Plus they are the cutest thing. Please post a picture of the ones you have. We would love to see them. Thanks.
