Hey Bob, give them a shot. You can try something tough like the P coronarium. Their humidity requirement is simpler than 'naners as all you have to do is to mist them every now and then and keep them warm. They go very low light though they can be grown full sun too. They don't seem to suffer from any diseases or pests whatsoever. The fun thing about them is that if you live in the tropics, the spores will germinate if the condition is right and you will be having hybrids or little sporelings near damp places.
