Cool/Intermediate/Warm Growers
I have been growing orchids for over 45 years, but I still find the classification fuzzy.
Some references mention nighttime temperatures to specify which range a plant grown in, while others focus on maximum daytime temperatures.
Then there are “cool to warm” growers, which can refer to either broad diurnal swings or that there are populations of the same plant growing in different conditions.
I usually end up avoiding anything with “cool” anywhere in the description and hope my “equal opportunity abuser of orchids” status ends up working.
Thoughts?
