Hi Sheetal. Thanks for your message. I’m glad you enjoy AboutOrchids. It sounds like your climate would be well suited to that Grammatophyllum species, but it can become a very large plant. As a novice, you may want to try a smaller variety first. Whatever you decide to grow, good luck with your orchids!
