So I was just wondering if there are any tips and tricks for just the ordinary home-grower on how to deal with extreme situations like a heat wave.
It's extremely hot here right now, I'm talking about +30 degrees C, which is like 86F... yeah and the temperature is rising. Unfortunately I can't afford an air-conditioner and my small apartment is at the moment unbearably hot... I've just got regular fans available.
Now I was just wondering in such extreme heat situations what would you advice on the care of orchids. I've got a number of Phalaenopsis orchids that I've just repotted and they weren't looking too great to start with, they're recovering. I've got three recovering Brassias too, not many roots there.
I've also got a Paphiopedilum (it's green leafed, not motted) which is in bloom right now. I've got an oncidium and an oncidium something hybrid and a Miltoniaopsis in full bloom.
Should I water more often? I keep spraying the Miltoniaopsis for moisture, is this ok?
Also the Brassias I've got them with spaghnum moss around them, as they don't have many roots...for humitidy.
