On the funds I have, I simply can't do that. I have to get clever and try and achieve some control with other tricks.
I heat in the winter, but this year it's been cold and the power bill is WAYY up over last winter.
Last summer the base temp outside hit 43C and was 46 in the greenhouse, but the Cattleyas, Catasetum, and den phals coped. All the rest were in summer camp, where they get more shade than the Cattleyas do.
I simply can't afford to keep anything that can't cope with the conditions here.
