Very easy. I grow mine in regular household conditions (60~80F) with moderate to low humidity and it does very well though it doesn't grow particularly quickly.

Oh I have a ton. Most of them aren't going to look their best that way, of course, but there are a few really nice species that do very well, such as platychila, clipeata, pervillei, vieillardii, and khasiana. N. hamata can do quite well too, though I understand it can be quite a difficult process getting the plant acclimated.
