Hello everyone,

I have been growing orchids for many years. First in The Netherlands where I lived from windowsill until a real heated greenhouse (which was rather complicated).
Now I live in South Africa in Phalaborwa only 5 minutes away from a gate of Kruger National Park. Phalaborwa is also called the city of 2 summers so I can grow my orchids outside in the garden of our guest house. Night temperature is never under 10 degrees and most of the time 20+. Daytime temperatures between 18 degrees on a real cold day (may be 5 each year) and 45 from December till February.
I am still discovering what does and does not work here and it is a great journey.

Jan
