Cultivation of Phrag Kovachii (and Hybrids) , and Paph Niveum and Rohs (and hybrids) in temperate climates

[Cach26]

Hello everyone, happy growing

I live in a temperate climate (transformed into torrential rains from time to time and hot temperatures from time to time due to climate change).

I have daytime temps of 26C-32C, and at night 18C-22C.

I want to grow Phrag Kovachii and its hybrids, also Paph Niveum and the Roths hybrids, but I don't know what climate they need, I wouldn't want to grow them and have them never bloom D:

I have heard that Besseae and Kovachii need night temperatures of 8C, and I don't have the means for a greenhouse.

Based on your experience, what species and hybrids do you recommend?
I also wanted to know how long it takes for Pah Rots and Niveum to flower?

Your temperature range is fine for kovachii and it's hybrids. For kovachii 8°c is more like a minimum safe temperature not a requirement for good growth.

I live in southern Ontario, with warm to hot humid summers, cool to cold winters. I had a niveum cross that lived in live moss in a pot outside from half of may till September. It didn’t seem to like anypotting medium. No matter what I did I couldn’t make it happy. It grew a bit, but winters under grow lights and 60% humidity still didn’t make it happy. It never flowered and slowly withered away.
