Hello,
long summer vacation, little baby, din't allow finished project. But I did it.
I use thermal relay ant heater for cold night now, and for frosts in winter. I replant 15 orchids (usually cattleyas).
Oldest orchid is Cattleya Alcanidae and Schilleriana, 6-7 years old, but never bloomed. They both in new greenhouse, and I hope, they will blooming soon, after adaptation.

I completely forgot about obligatory ventilation in sealed Greenhouse. After 2 days, lost 5 leaves of black rot. On the third day mounted fan and the rot has stopped appearing.
And today view.

Now in my Greenhouse live this orchids:
1) Blc. Chia Lin " New City " very big and strong
2) Cattleya lawrenceana or maxima, I don't remember
3) Cattleya aclandiae
4) Cattleya schilleriana
they both too big plants 20-25 bulbs
4) Leptotes bicolor, but without roots and have only 3 bulbs.
5) Laelia lundii, have three bulbs too
6) Bulbophyllum putidum, have a lot of bulbs, but some bulbs ill and unhealthy.
7) Dendrobium Mua Thai - one strong health sprout
8) And 6-7 nameless lelias or cattleyas or blc.

I think will use Nepenthes hamata between front window of greenhouse and orchids instead of shade cloth against ruthless and hot Sun during long (17-19 hours) Siberian summer sunny day.
