Re:???'s

Kyle,



Max. tenuifolia - med/high light, intermediate (hi 50s - low 80s F)
temps

Pleuro. restrepioides - med. light, int. temps

Brassavola nodosa - likes it on the dry side like most Cattleyas. It
should completely dry out between waterings. It can be mounted as well.
Needs high light to bloom well. Int. temps.

Enc. cordigera & randii - you probably need more light. Most of the
Cattleya tribe need a lot of light to bloom. Int. temps as well.



None of these is day length dependant as far as blooming time, so your
temp. zone really should not matter. I am in zone 6B myself. If you
are growing indoors, you may wish to get a couple of 48" shop lights
w/fluorescent tubes and hang them close (3-4") to the light lovers.



Hope this helps,



Kevin
