Orchid House update pics
My terminology 'house' caused confusion so I'll have to remember to type "Orchid House"
As I posted, I'm adding some updated pics of it.

Roy, nice "house"! I don't mean to pry, but can you tell me what medium you are using on a lot of your orchids? It looks like sphag and charcoal?

Summer temps, O/nite .. Min 15c+ mostly.
Day ......Min 15c - 35c, this is when the Evaporative A/con is switched on. No A/C, it has gone to 45c+.
Winter Temps, O/nite .. 12c >
Day .. 12c - 25c approx.
Both of these temp' quotes vary slightly on outside conditions ie Frosts, rain, Wind etc. |
