The Orchid Porch
Hello friends!
So I finally got all of my Japanese Orchid crew in to their new pots, and now that it's finally getting warmer here I thought I'd put them out on the porch to get some more natural sunlight and take advantage of the humidity outdoors as well.
They get shaded light, though I may still find a way to shade them a bit more during our hot summers to keep things a bit more cool. This makes it easier to water them as well. I would hang the rankake but the hooks on the porch are too short so the top plants would be right up again the ceiling of the porch.
I took the pictures when it was cloudy out yesterday. My 2 Asian Cymbidiums are also outside as well. My Cym. goeringii Tenshin 天心 seems to be recovering from shipping, finally. My Cymbidium sinense 'Da Mo Zhong Tou' 達摩中透 seems to be perking up as well.
My two Sedirea japonica are on the second shelf of the blue cart, where they get far more appropriate light since they are Phals. I'll have to watch them though and see if they just need to stay indoors in the master bathroom by the windows where it's even shadier. This will likely be the case.
I would hang up my other Vandas in their baskets, too, but we're still in the weird transition period here in Texas from winter to spring (I'll call it spwinter), where for some reason it'll be in the 70s, as high as the mid 85s some days, and then get to the low 50s, sometimes in the 40s, at night. The Vandas don't like anything below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This also means I have to take my two Sedirea japonica indoors at night as well.
