My mentor in all things orchidiadic, Hans Christiansen, once made the remark that ordinary (diploid) insignes can be quite tricky to flower - but that polyploid plants of the species often would grow and bloom well, even on the window sill in a flat. Untill now he has been proven right, when it has come to my plants of that nature.Nowadays the majority of flats are central heated, all rooms are heated, also many greenhouses miss a cooler section where you can grow P. insigne.
