Well, its that time of year again guys. Another year has come to an end. So what to do next year? Here's what I want to do.
-get orchids that actually suit my conditions (I have not been doing that too much) mainly:
Angrecoids (need more of those)
stuff that grows in phal light or less
stuff that grows in full sun for a little more than half of the day
-up the humidity. Mine is around 30 percent or lower in the summer and the Santa Ana winds here make it worse in the fall. Don't know how my thin leaved orchids still bloom for me though
-get shade cloth for my garden window (yes its called a garden window. search it up). My Brassavola nodosa and Blc. Yen Corona 'Green Genie' got sunburnt from that southern garden window in winter. That's how bad it is.
-refrain from touching flowers.
-clean the growing area. I grow all of my orchids in my house on these rolling desks. I store all the materials underneath them. It gets really dirty when sphagnum bits start falling out of the hanging baskets.
So what are your new year resolutions for your orchids? Feel free to share!
