Speaking of air movement... it is crucially important to most orchids. In their native environments, nearly all orchids are exposed to constant breezes. Moving air is very beneficial to the overall health of orchids. It helps cut down on disease problems, and also helps prevent cold or hot spots that can form on the leaves under adverse temperature conditions. A small fan mounted in the growing area will give you noticably better growing conditions and your plants will thank you by responding with more vigorous growth.
