Mine seems to have acclimated fairly well, Alice. It was an impulse buy from Trader Joes, and this is its second bloom cycle for me. None of my orchids come indoors in the summer.
I think the most important factor is drainage, and enough air flow to allow the roots to dry a bit before the night falls. Water in the morning, dry in the evening. Problems seem to crop up when it rains late in the afternoon, but so far not with this little Zygo.
Check the medium to make sure there's not a soggy wad of moss in there, and if there is you don't really want to re-pot before the blooms are finished, but at least poke some holes in the moss to allow some air down into the pot. A metal skewer or a carving fork are handy tools for this job.
) how the older flowers, those almost ready to drop off the stem, have changed in appearance. This particular plant has never stayed in bloom for over two weeks before, but I have had it and the 'Orange' in a lot of sun for the last three weeks. The V. Sunlight 'Orange' is really putting on some roots and the Spanish moss seems to enjoy the additional sunlight as well.
) at an orchid presentation. The grower told me this one likes to stay a lot wetter than most, perhaps explaining why yours does fine with afternoon rains. There were crowds of people around and I did not get a chance to ask more questions. I also picked up a little dendrobium not yet in bloom. I used to have such great luck with them until the cold winters happened.
