Hello from New Jersey! Female
Default Hello from New Jersey!

Nice to meet you all! I'm a broke graduate student headed for vet school and a house full of dogs and orchids, and have found OrchidBoard useful on SOOO many occasions, so finally decided to join!
I've been growing orchids for the past four years (successfully only for the past three years...), and am hopefully starting to get a hang of it (seems like it!) and grow an actually legitimate collection, slowly but surely. I have no greenhouse, only windows and desks, most of which get very little sunlight, and so am experimenting a great deal with artificial lighting, but on a very, very tight budget. (oh the orchids I'd have, if I just had some money!!!) Got any tips/pointers/advice on indoor lighting? Please, please, please feel free to share!

Not everyone has a greenhouse. I for one grow on window sills too and any surface I can find. Supplemental lighting helps too. You'll do fine

WELCOME! My orchids have taken over parts of my family room, and good chunk of the dining room and table. Nobody complains because they all love the blooms! Don't worry! You'ree not the only one without a green house! Enjoy them wherever you can have them!
