yeah,
i dont have all that equipment. i guess i need to go shopping for a thermometer and humidifier. i've actually not been growing the two orchids i DO have (a white NOID dendrobium phal. and an oncidium sharry baby var. aureum 'ok' [mislabeled above sorry my mistake]) on the window sill. they've been growing on my computer desk. they just sit there with no source of humidity. after burning others to death im scared of killing these poor little survivors. the room is very bright and i have 3 windows. one faces west one south and one east so the room is always flooded with light. the leaves aren't dark green so they might be getting the light needed. maybe i should try the west window. the other two have no sills. the south plants were on a shelf i extended on the south window sort of like a makeshift sill but i've since removed it. the den looks like its thriveng. its grown many new roots and put out 2 new growths one last year one this year. they're not as tall as the ones that came when i bought it. does anyone know why? anyways my onc. is barely hanging on. its badly shriveled on the pseudobulbs and theres some shriveling on the leaves. it put out a few roots but they soon stopped growing and some have rotted and only like 4 are left bout an inch long. the new growth grew a couple inches then stopped. i want to go to an orchid club meeting and leave it with an expert to see if they can save it for me and give it back when its better. im going to take pics soon so you can all see my story.
