Suggestions for windowsill growing

[MelissaSE]

I am presently growing about 25 orchids in my large southeast-exposure kitchen window, mostly phals but also a few paphs and one mini-cattleya hybrid. They are on humidity trays, the windows have a sheer curtain to filter the light, and temps run about 70-80F in summer/65-70F in winter.

I have room to add a hanging plant, and would like to try something in a basket. What kind of orchid would be suited to these conditions and look good in a basket? I think something with pendant flower stalks would look best, but I'm open to any suggestions!

You might give something like Aerangis citrata a consideration. They seem to like phalaenopsis conditions, have the pendant flower spikes you suggested might be preferable, and a re miniature plants, leaving space for plenty of others!

Thanks for this suggestion - I'm looking forward to having something a little different, so will look for Aerangis.
