Given the hot humid conditions in Chennai you might want to try phalaenopsis, vandas, or dendrobiums(phalaenopsis type). Given the heat, humidity of 50% or more is essential as is good air movement--enough to keep the foliage constantly moving. Also, provide shady conditions especially during the hottest part of the day. See www.ArgusOrchids.net for more basic information on growing orchids. Note: all the dendrobiums photographed here will probably not do well-they need much cooler night temperatures in general. Hi Sheetal, thanks.
