Dear K Barrett My Aerangis is seed grown and not collected and I have grown it outside. The temps range from a record low of 42 [normal is 50] to a record high of 94 [normal is 90]. We are semitropical here and have a definite rainy season [the spring] and a very dry winter. I water most every day, year round because I get a lot of wind and am less than 100 yards from the ocean, but I water much longer in the late winter, spring and summer than the fall and early winter [Dec, Jan]. I also use methanol [Jerry's Grow] and seem to get a lot more rooting since I changed to this type of fertilizer. I never use any low nitrogen fertilizer on this species. Maybe my good luck with this species is because of the salt in the air. Check out the plant at http://www.orchidspecies.com/aerangismodesta.htm See the plant photos Good Luck Jay
