New kit greenhouse built in Apr. 08

[Orchidbyte]

Thank you for the great comments:-)

Most of the orchids prior to the greenhouse were outside all year long or inside in winter time.

I had a smaller very cheap covering for things when weather got cold or rainy, cold in so. Cal. in night maybe 33f once in awile and most days in the 60's.

At of dec. 1st I removed shade cloth and quickly noticed some new growth on things, at this time of the year I water potted orchids maybe every two weeks, other potted plants when they need it.
Mounted orchids and seedlings get water more often and again it is on a need to have watering, I have a 5 gallon bottle that I fill up and set in the sun for awhile so that I can give them warm water and also I use a filter system called the Gar'n Gro and that filters out chlorine and other nasty's. Since using the filter all of the plants have gotten greener and orchid roots have done way way better. The filter was inexpensive and easy to hook up to a standard spiget, look it up at filterwater.com.

I am a certified plant nut have been for over 35 years and have a great deal of knowledge and love for em, I do landscaping and that shows up I guess in the greenhouse, I believe in bio diversity and in the greenhouse that works out pretty good, you just have to be carefull of spraying insecticides as some plants don't take to kindly to them.
