How to survive Winter season

[thakshila smith]

Winter season is about to come .We do not have that period here in tropics.
I read many topics regarding this time .You all take away shade cloths and provide lights anall.
Its hard for me to believe that you do not get sun rays for weeks .
I like to share your experience in this regard . sun shine ,snow and cloudy, and rain.
We do get cloudy days three or four at a strech and some times non stop rain for a week . Twice a year . then only orchid DEn ,Crem: blooms. we get rains for three months at a strech.
But rain forests they get heavy rain fall and dark shade and lots of ground cover and creepers . Most of the time of the year they get rain.
