Hi,
Wow! look at all your encouraging responses!!Thanks!!!
I climb out there every morning (or more often than that - it is nice out there
)
Supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon - maybe i will just mist in the morning...
Anyway, I bring each wooden structure inside, put it in the shower for a soak, put it back outside.
The window to the fire escape is right next to the bathroom. (The window is practically right next to the elevated subway
)
Watering is actually quicker with this arrangement!
While i was growing indoors, everything was watered more or less individually and used to take over twice as long.
Yes i did build the wooden structures - mostly cedar, some cypress. some were specifically for orchids. and others were modified/abandoned art projects. I stretched shade cloth over the fire escape. I don't know why but there arent any squirrells out here
so those critters aren't a problem. I see spiders out there! Maybe take care of someof my whiptails...
things dry out more quickly out there, but i think it'll all be happier there than inside the hot apartment over the summer. The Dockrillias sure do Great though! Getting all purple...
thanks again,
Mike
