If my e-mail serves correctly I must be able to post this.. Maxillaria luteo-alba seems not to like greenhouses.. I have had one for five years sulking in a medium/warm greenhouse.. For three years now we (my wife does most of the job) keep it in the living room during winter and outside during the (Dutch..) summer. Now it produces fat bulbs and eight buds on a bulb this year. Maybe it is too conservative to think all orchids are greenhouse plants. Do any of you know other orchids that seem to do better outside then in a conservatory or such?
