Kelo you are so blessed to have a greenhouse. Once your misters are going the Happy Girl gang will be dancing the can can.

I tell ya, I've waited forty years to have a greenhouse and I'm loving every second of it - except for the heating costs (it's still quite cold at night here) and it's just late spring lol.

Do you just grow orchids? If I had a greenhouse I would be starting all my veg's and annuals as well. What fun and good for you!!! How cold is cold? I know I have to be careful in the Winter here. My Phals don't like to get chilled. I got a great deal on different size cloches which the Phals love. Snug and warm and if it gets too steamy I just put a rock underneath for air. Once it warms up to 50 at night, out they go for the duration. Onc., den., mas. and pleuro will stay in, everything else out out out, to include ferns and nepenthes. Let us know how the girls like their new mister.

Thank you, tucker85. 
I'm also growing a couple different varieties of tomatoes - Brandy wine and a yellow one that I forget the name of lol, several different chillies, aubergines (eggplant), a black grape, colocasias, bananas, lemons, oranges, limes, pink grapefruit, stag horn ferns and a couple of Moso bamboos. I think that's it!  |

the new 'house is doing great!!! love the blooms....the heating bill is outragous i know, but i conserve about 20% by covering my roof witha solar pool cover.....its like big bubble wrap....some people cover the interior with it, but i find that too difficult to work around the tables....gl and enjoy!

Thank you. they seem to be doing fine but unseasonably cold weather is holding them back quite a bit. I'm hoping that June will be much warmer and sunnier than it's been this month. My heating bill has gone to astronomical levels since the GH went up lol.

For some reason I'm going through about $15/day for total electric - for house and greenhouse. Not good. i don't understand why greenhouse heaters always say 'frost free' - I want to HEAT my greenhouse not run a heater 24/7 to do nothing but waste money. It doesn't even keep the GH that warm at night and there isn't any frost at all!
